Companies and their image
The display covers various Dutch transport operators. With uniforms, emblems and service information, notice colour and naming: they helped passengers recognise who operated the service and whom they needed to turn to.
Vehicle and model
Historic buses stand alongside model railways and miniature vehicles. Compare a real vehicle with a scale model: which technical details are kept, and which are simplified to keep the whole recognisable?
The paperwork behind the journey
Documents and other public transport items show that transport is more than driving. Maps, tickets and service information organise a network; ask of a document who it was made for: passenger, conductor or planner.
Before you go
Outside Wednesday to Saturday, visits are by appointment only. Public holidays are listed as closed; also check whether historic buses can be seen that day.
