Ipswich Transport Museum is a unique collection of major transport and engineering objects made or used in the Ipswich area. They show how people used to go about their daily lives and remind us of the many things that were actually designed and built on our doorstep The collection started 60 years ago with just one bus and has grown into one of the most comprehensive collections of its kind.
The Transport Collection at Ipswich Transport Museum is lovingly cared for by dedicated volunteers.
You can see buses and bicycles, prams and a police car, lawnmowers and lorries, fire engines and a funeral hearse. The amazing selection of local vehicles is supported by a variety of small exhibits, display material and ephemera.
