Behind the Scenes: Transport Store Tour

About

Explore the Transport and Industry Store collections through a self-guided tour. Highlights include Rex McCandless' innovations, historic bicycles, motorbikes, boats and planes (notably the rare Shorts Sealand). This is an opportunity to see inside a working museum store, quite unlike our conventional public galleries but equally fascinating!

What to know:
-The Transport Collection Stores are on Heron Road - not at the Ulster Transport Museum. We'll send the address to you through email once you've booked your ticket.
-This is not a guided tour and instead is an opportunity to see inside and wander around collections that are rarely seen by the public.
-All children must be accompanied by an adult.
-No food and drink allowed due to the nature of the space.
-There are bathrooms available on-site, however, no baby changing.
