Histoire

2006

The Museum of Technology and Transport was founded on January 1, 2006, in Szczecin's historic Niemierzyn tram depot, a registered heritage site.

2010

Initially, the depot required extensive renovation, which was financially supported through the Norwegian Financial Mechanism and the European Economic Area funds in 2010.

The Szczecin Society of Public Transport Enthusiasts played a crucial role in establishing the museum by securing funding and managing the collection.

Over the years, the museum has expanded its exhibitions to include significant historical vehicles and prototypes from the local automotive industry, reflecting the region's industrial heritage.
