Collection development strategy of the Museum of Transport pays extra attention to the automobiles of the “Eastern Bloc.” After purchasing the legendary Polski Fiat, we hope to further develop our collection soon.
Opening hours of our member institutions are the following in December and January:
The latest successful event in the Ábrahám Ganz Foundry Collection.
We handed over the restored MÁV 411,358 steam-engine of the Museum of Transport in Hegyeshalom.
The Hungarian Museum of Transport participated successfully at the 25th Sziget Festival again this year!
Restoration works are making great progress in the newly moved Aeropark Airplane Museum, the largest transport-related exhibition place of the Hungarian Museum of Transport. Here a full spectrum of 60 years of Hungarian commercial aviation is exhibited. Restoration works – a joint effort of the Museum of Transport and the Aviation Cultural Center – concern three aircrafts among the ones exhibited here, and which are part of the collection of the Hungarian Museum of Transport.
1200 photos have become accessible thanks to the collaboration of the renewing Museum of Transport and the photo archive of Fortepan. The goal of the co-operation is to present those values of the history of transport and industry which were hardly presented before, and to share these unique photographs with the public. The recently published photographs got into the possession of the Museum decades ago from the heritage of the Ship Factory of Óbuda and of the Ganz Ship Factory. Then they were uploaded to Fortepan.
A serious deficiency has been supplied: a Zlin 142 two-seater trainer aircraft was added to our collection.
Environmental consciousness, community transportation, sustainable development, thinking together.
The research- and reading room (the database, the archive, and the Library) takes requests from the 30th of October via e-mail.
The House of European History opened on 6th May in Brussels and introduces the history of Europe. The goal of the exhibition is to prompt the audience to argue, to ask questions and to think about European history by introducing the history of the continent from the myths and the discoveries, to the chaos and cohesion of the 20th century.
On the 1st December 2016, the renewing Museum of Transport has acquired a new piece, an Ikarus 66 (a so called "Faros") bus. The vehicle fills a niche since the collection of the museum was in lack of those pieces of the Ikarus factory which were manufactured in great numbers.
