This museum highlights the important contributions made by Saxony and neighbouring parts of the Czech Republic in the field of transport. Exhibits are somewhat cramped but there is a fascinating display of unusual cars on the ground floor. This is complemented by railway locomotives, together with models of commercial vehicles, aircraft and ships. Well worth a visit!
The museum was a fun experience for me, being a fan of the technology of cars, planes and basically everything else in the museum. Like another review said the museum definitely caters towards Germans. The exhibits have virtually no other languages posted, though there was an audio guide to take you through the museum. I would have given it 4 stars if I had been able to read more of the exhibit displays. If you enjoy transportation exhibits you will probably enjoy this museum. They also have a large section devoted to children, so definitely bring them! I do recommend it if you are looking for something to do for an hour or so in Dresden. Safe travels!
OK, I admit it, I'm a total transport geek and ex-aviation professional. Nevertheless, despite the fact I personally can't resist transport history, I do commend this museum.It is centrally located and easy to find. It has sections dedicated to trains, cars, motorbikes, bicycles, aircraft, and on the top floor a huge, impressive model railway lay-out.Irresistible!
If you like old cars, motorcycles, bikes and you would like to see baloon, airplain go and see it. It is worth seeing it
Great place to go with kids. Second floor is almost all dedicated to them, ships you can sail yourself, trains you can play with, aerodynamic room to learn. Good place to take your family to, because each of them will find something fascinating for themselves. One disadvantage- non German speakers will not be able to read a lot of descriptions as almost all of them are in German.
Marvellous collection of all types of transport, and it's worth checking, before you visit, at what time the model railway is going to be run - it's a must see !
Right in the historic square at Dresden, the Transport Museum is a little treasure. There are plenty of larger transport museums, but this one is of manageable size with interesting exhibits. I visited on "Museum Night," when Dresden's museums were open until 1am. It was packed with people, creating a terrific atmosphere of fun and excitement.The cars and locomotives are worth the admission price and the museum (like that in Berlin) is aimed at children for the most part, with many "hands-on" displays.Where else could you see Wanderer and Wartburg prototypes? Or an IFA or a AWE? Unimaginative names, but interesting cars.An excellent way to spend a couple of hours.The view outside from the upstairs windows is great, too.
I'm a car, aviation, and technology fan. This place was a joy to visit. There is an entire room full of railroad cars and equipment, and a tot road/tram play area with traffic lights, etc. What fun! I was a little surprised that despite all the cars in the automobile section there were no Audis and no Trabants! How could both be absent? Remember, too, that as with Munich's Deutsches Museums, technological advances and innovated products from outside Germany are largely absent. Great location -- right on the main square. Allow at least 1/2 day with or without little ones.
This museum is right in the middle of the old town and doesn't take very long, but if you are a transportation buff, especially of trains, it's worth a stop.
place but full of interesting things that cater for the entire family.Be it a train buff,Areo fan or you have children to entertain/Educate,this place will fill an hour or even a day.I the square it is ideal for letting the wife go shopping while you see the kings train and in particular his in house toilet!.Go see,think you will enjoy.
