Museum of Public Transport of Wallonia
More than two centuries of history of mobility: yesterday's carriages to urban transport of the future.
The Transport Museum explores the history of urban transport in the Liège region and in Wallonia from the 18th century to today. The museum presents about fifty vehicles: horse-drawn carriages, horse-drawn and electric trams, trolleybuses, buses, etc. Historical documents, soundscapes, interactive and audiovisual devices complete the exhibition.
The museum is not only looking to the past, it also presents the challenges of mobility today as well as innovative projects in Belgium and in the world in terms of sustainable mobility.
Groups
Groups can freely explore the museum by using the audio guide, available in four languages, or opt for a visit with a specialized guide. The tour can include the permanent collection or a temporary exhibition. It can also be adapted to specific requests. Groups can combine their museum visit (guided or otherwise) with a “gourmet break” in the cafeteria. Two formulas are proposed: the afternoon snack or the cold dish.
Schools
The Transport Museum offers a rich and varied program of school activities around the theme of sustainable mobility: animation game, creative activity, city tour, animation for scientific awakening or visits in combination with other museums. Animations have been adapted for all ages. A visit to our museum inspires reflection on the evolution of mobility in urban environments, on what mobility is today, at home and around the world, and invites us to look to the future!
