Oslo Tramway Museum
About

Step into Oslo’s transport history at the Oslo Tramway Museum, a nostalgic tribute to the city’s evolving public transit. Located in Majorstuen, the museum is housed in the historic Vognhall 5 depot and showcases a remarkable collection of vintage trams, buses, and trolleybuses that once crisscrossed the capital. Visitors can explore restored vehicles, some dating back to the early 20th century, and even board select trams for a hands-on experience. The museum also operates heritage tram rides on special occasions, offering a rare chance to travel through Oslo aboard a classic carriage. Run by the Lokaltrafikkhistorisk Forening, a dedicated non-profit, the museum preserves not just vehicles but the stories and spirit of urban mobility. Currently undergoing renovations to enhance accessibility and visitor facilities, the museum is set to reopen in early 2025 with refreshed exhibitions and a new museum shop. It’s a charming destination for anyone curious about Oslo’s journey on rails.
