Dundee Museum of Transport

The Dundee Museum of Transport, located in Dundee, Scotland, officially opened to the public on 26 April 2014.[1] The museum is currently housed in temporary accommodation on Market Street (in the Market Mews). The museum's organisers hope to relocate it to permanent premises at the Maryfield Tram Depot, in the Stobswell area of the city.[2] Currently listed on the Buildings at Risk register by the RCAHMS,[3] the premises will require extensive repairs and upgrades.
