Haags Openbaar Vervoer Museum: room for the tram

The Haags Openbaar Vervoer Museum on the Parallelweg presents historic trams, photographs and objects relating to public transport in The Hague. The former tram depot gives the subject a fitting setting, but the day’s programme determines which activities are available.

Comparing vehicles

Look at how the interior layout of trams relates to getting on, sitting and moving about. Differences between vehicles can be a reason to read the information about their use more closely.

Images alongside rolling stock

Photographs and other objects add context to what a vehicle itself shows. Look, for example, at the relationship between a street pictured and the vehicle that had to find its place in it.

Preparing for a ride

Rides are a separate part of the calendar. Check departure and conditions of participation; any bus activities are not automatically included in a museum visit either.

Before you go

According to the seasonal schedule, the museum is open on Sundays from 11 January to 13 December 2026. Check for exceptions and bear in mind that payment is by debit card.
