Technical and Transportation Museum
Once one of Europe’s oldest transport museums, the Hungarian Technical and Transportation Museum in Budapest is undergoing a major transformation. Originally located in City Park, the museum was closed in 2015 and its historic building demolished as part of the Liget Budapest Project. Plans are underway to reopen in a new, modern facility that will showcase Hungary’s rich legacy in rail, road, aviation, and maritime transport. The museum’s collection includes scale models, vintage locomotives, early automobiles, and aircraft such as the Junkers F-13 and the cabin of Hungary’s first astronaut, Bertalan Farkas. Temporary exhibitions and events continue off-site, including the popular “Moving Museum” featuring restored Ikarus buses. The future museum will offer interactive displays and expanded educational programs, reinforcing its role as a national institution dedicated to science, technology, and mobility. While the reopening date remains unconfirmed, the revitalized museum promises to be a dynamic cultural destination for transport enthusiasts and curious visitors alike.
Budapest HungaryThe Transport Museum in Budapest, officially known as the Hungarian Technical and Transportation Museum (Közlekedési Múzeum), is located at 11 Városligeti körút in the XIV district, at the southeastern corner of City Park (Városliget). It is one of Europe’s oldest transportation museums, showcasing a unique collection that covers railway technology, road traffic history including vintage cars and motorcycles, and aviation. Although temporarily closed for reconstruction until 2026, the museum is renowned for its detailed locomotive models, historic vehicles, and exhibitions on city public transport, flight, and space exploration. Nearby, visitors can explore the vast City Park with attractions like Heroes’ Square, the Museum of Fine Arts, and the Széchenyi Thermal Bath, creating a rich cultural and recreational setting. The park itself offers extensive walking paths, playgrounds, and green spaces, making the area a vibrant hub for leisure and history. This location allows guests to combine visits to the Transport Museum with other key Budapest landmarks and outdoor experiences, enriching a day spent in the city’s historic heart. The museum's previous site in Városliget remains a focal point for tourism and easy access via public transport adds to its appeal.
