Great museum in the centre of Dresden. I wonder how they took the trains into it. Alle kinds of transport, many real vehicels, modeltrain exhibition. Not only for children

Basia_Poznan

This place will show you the history of cars, bicycles, races, motorbikes, trains, aviation etc. The best thing not only for children is the huge model railway room.

March 2022 The museum was directly in front of the hotel I was staying in, and, as I work for an automobile museum in Stuttgart, I had to visit the Verkehrsmuseum (transport museum) in Dresden. The museum is small but full of wonderful treats (klein aber großartig). Housed in a building built in the 16th century to house the horses and coaches of King Johann of Saxony, the building is still dedicated today to mobility, The museum consists of six destinctive sections: - road transport - rail transport - aviation - sea/water transport - model railroad - road safety for children with other rooms for activities and other exhibitions. Ticket price €11 is fair, especially if you have time to view everything there. I spent three hours in the museum. The audio guide is an app which you can download on your smartphone. The problem is, if you don't have a headset/earpiece with you, you have to hold your phone to your ear if you don't want to bother other visitors. It would be a good idea if the museum offered such headsets. The good thing about the app is that you can listen back to the tracks days later if you note the code numbers of the exhibits. Your visit starts in the road transport section - and that's where I spent most of my time. The invention of the wheel, the penny.farthing, the bicycle, the automobile. In this museum you can learn how to get on a penny-farthing! The museum is a bit cramped but full of interesting exhibits. For example, a video is projected onto a Horch engine illustrating the movement of the cylinders. When you press on the Horch accelerator, you accelerate the movement of the cylinders. I also loved the writing on the walls. The world history corresponding to the vehicles on exhibit. Great activities for children. I especially liked the "Flight physics lab" and the driving school where small children can learn the rules of the road. I could have spend the whole day in the Museum - or even longer.

Beautiful layout of different locomotives and history of the land without being in your face. The land transport really gives a basic chronological insight to transportation's transformation. Was a little disappointed about aviation and sea transport lacking in some translations.

The Museum is organized into four sections: private vehicles, railways, aviation and navigation. The top floor offers a nice surprise for children and one dedicated to modeling (very well looked after and beautiful). Each section exposes the evolution of that medium in relation to industrial progress and political changes. Especially nice how the impact of the union of the two Germanys on navigation is explained. Very well told also but aviation section. I found it complete, accurate and well explained. Maybe I would add a few more benches to rest between one room and another.

Das Verkehrsmuseum ist sehr cool gemacht. Wer sich für historisch bis heutige Verkehrsmittel interessiert, ist hier genau richtig. Für Kinder gibt es auch ein Rundgang. Wir waren begeistert und kommen gerne wieder.

Nous avons visité le musée des transports de Dresde en famille, avec des adolescents et un enfant plus jeune. En 3h de visite, ce dernier ne s'est jamais ennuyé. C'est déjà un signe qui ne trompe pas. Le musée est très bien conçu et s'adresse à tous les âges. Tout le monde y trouve son compte. Il est très pédagogique, interactif et informatif. La scénographie et la décoration sont excellentes. Le prix est très abordable.

Für 11 Euro Eintritt hätten wir mehr erwartet. Wir kannten das Museum aus früheren Zeiten. Deshalb waren wir etwas enttäuscht. Wir hätten uns einen Wegweiser gewünscht oder irgendwelche Hinweiszeichen, um gezielter gehen zu können. Dieses Manko war auch dem Personal bekannt, konnten aber auch nichts tun. Ansonsten war es ganz OK.

Es war als ein wenig Kultur am Abreisetag geplant, hat sich dann aber als 4-stündiger Wissensmarathon entpuppt. Ausstellungen sind nach Themen geteilt. Wobei am besten Auto und Bahn gelungen sind. Ich mochte die kleinen Hörspiele zum Zeitgeschehen, die überall verteilt waren. Für den Eintrittspreis und bei dem gebotenen Ausstellungsvolumen absolut empfehlenswert.

Sehr zentral in Dresden gelegen, gibt das Verkehrsmuseum einen wunderbaren Einblick in die Welt des Verkehrs. Automobil, Motorrad, Flugzeug, Schiff und besonders interessant die Eisenbahn. Für Kinder gibt es hierbei viel zu entdecken, aber auch für Erwachsene lohnt sich der Besuch. Schön wäre noch ein Audioguide mit Leihgeräten, ist praktischer als die angebotene Smartphone-App ohne Kopfhörer - vielleicht kommt das ja mal. Wer ein wenig Interesse am Thema hat, wird hier auf seine Kosten kommen; da aber alle Verkehrsbereiche abgedeckt werden, sollte nicht zu viel Tiefgang in den einzelnen Kategorien erwartet werden. Insgesamt ein lohnender Besuch.
