About Dover Transport Museum

Dover Transport Museum has a fascinating collection of vintage transport, and transport models of all types, including some rare enough to thrill those in the know, and a few unusual ones like a beautifully restored Romany Caravan, charabanc, and a steam roller!

Their two large exhibition halls have recreated old Dover street scenes that will stir the memories of many older visitors and give younger ones a glimpse of how things used to be. A great way to discover what live was like years ago, with these lovely bygone street scenes, historic vehicles, and model cars.
