european heritage open day: access to transport stores
A self-guided, behind-the-scenes tour of our Transport and Industry stores as part of European Heritage Open Days
This event has now ended.
We're opening the doors to NI's Transport and Industry Store on Saturday 14th September as part of European Heritage Open Days.
Our Transport and Industry store is a treasure trove of thousands of automotive, aeronautic and industrial collections that highlight our history of invention in this part of the world.
Take a self-guided tour of this special private collection, including Rex McCandless' innovations, historic bicycles, motorbikes, planes and boats including the rare Shorts Sealand. The combination of our fascinating range of objects and an opportunity to go behind the scenes at the Ulster Transport Museum is an opportunity not to be missed!
Please note: the store is not located at Ulster Transport Museum. It is a short distance away at 22 Heron Road, Harbour Estate, BT39 9LE. This will be the meeting point for the tour.
