behind the scenes: transport store tour

Would you like to get behind the scenes of our new Transport and Industry Store? See inside this treasure trove of automotive, aeronautic and industrial collections that highlight the social, industrial, and sporting history of this part of the world.

Explore these collections through a self-guided tour. Highlights include Rex McCandless' innovations, historic bicycles, motorbikes, boats and planes (notably the rare Shorts Sealand). This is an opportunity to see inside a working museum store, quite unlike our conventional public galleries but equally fascinating!
