Transportation Museum

The Hungarian Museum of Transport and Technology in Budapest is one of the oldest transport collections in Europe and sits in the southeastern part of City Park. The museum is known for its one-of-a-kind collection of locomotives and railcars built at one-fifth scale, which illustrate the full range of railway technology in fine detail. These are complemented by full-size original vehicles and a historic train station complex from the 1900s. Other exhibits cover the history of road transport with vintage cars and motorcycles, as well as shipping and aviation and space travel. The latter displays original aircraft, including the Junkers F-13, as well as the capsule of the first Hungarian astronaut. The museum is currently closed temporarily for a major renovation, during which a new building is being constructed to house the renovated collection.
