Hands-on Galleries

Interchange

child in Interchange galleryChildren aged from 7 to 11 can explore the Museum's collection in this interactive hands-on area. They can discover the range of people who have worked on public transport in London over the last 200 years, try on replica costumes and guess the origins of our mystery objects. The highlight of a visit to the gallery is a chance to drive our Optare bus.

Gallery supported by the Luke Rees-Pulley Charitable Trust.

All aboard!

child in All Aboard galleryChildren under 6 can let their imaginations run wild as they climb aboard our fun versions of a bus, train, Tube and taxi. They can take the wheel, becoming a driver for the day, or bump around with the other passengers in the back. They can also explore our miniature London, taking control of the transport system, moving buses and trains around London's most famous landmarks.

Gallery supported by the Luke Rees-Pulley Charitable Trust.
