Ulster Transport Museum

Ulster Transport Museum celebrates the history of invention and innovation through engineering, design, and technology. Home to one of the most comprehensive transport collections in Europe, explore majestic steam locomotives, Irish built motor cars and vintage motorbikes, and traditional horse-drawn carriages. Uncover the history of ship and aircraft building in Ulster, with historic reading materials on show and a model replica of the Titanic!  

The Museum of Innovation located in the lower galleries celebrates the great innovations of Ulster including the famous DeLorean, Ferguson tractor and the brand new ‘Celtic Wave: A History of Surfing’ exhibition.
