Before you go to the museum, you'll be interested in reading the mature performances of numerous street artists in the central area of Covent Garden. But keep in mind that artists are actively communicating with the public, so be ready for bilateral communication. If you don't want to be a member of the show, take the podium.
The Victorian building of the Museum from iron and glass since 1871 has served as a flower-proof market and has been renovated for the Museum of Transport only in the 1980♪
The first museum exhibits, which were written-off equipment, appeared in the early 20th century thanks to the London Transport Company General Omnibus Company. The collection of the museum was subsequently filled by rail and continued to grow. Numerous samples of buses, trolleybuses, trams and trains of 19 and 20 centuries, as well as associated artifacts related to the work and development of public transport in Great Britain, are now collected at the Public Transport Museum in Kovent Garden.
The most pleasant thing is that the museum contains many interactive exhibits that will be of particular interest to children: they can not only be touched, but also be tampered with, sat in them, press buttons, wheels and many other fascinating actions. There's a large table with toy trains for very small visitors to the museum on the first floor. There are 375,000 exponents on the three floors of the museum, the world's most complete transport collection. The museum can not only be entertained, but also learn a lot about the history of transport in England: information panels and interactive terminals will help.
In 2005, the museum began global modernization and the collection of exhibits was significantly expanded. The museum was reopened in November 2007.
