The Museum of Transport in the Kelvin Hall is one of the most popular museums of transport in the British Isles, attracting half a million visitors a year. Founded in 1964, it houses many exhibits of national and international importance.
Locomotive manufacture was also a supremely important Glasgow industry and the museum celebrates our railway heritage.
