Ipswich Transport Museum Ltd

The Museum was founded in 1965, and now has over 100 major transport and engineering exhibits, all made or operated in Ipswich and surrounding places.

The museum is situated in a former trolleybus depot. The main exhibition hall is unheated, but the shop and tea room is heated. The building is well insulated and visitors should feel comfortable wearing a coat or jacket during colder weather. The museum closed season is December to around Easter, where the opportunity is taken to re-arrange displays and undertake improvements.

The entrance, shop, WCs and exhibition areas are predominantly step free.
