Musée des Transports en commun de Wallonie
The Museum of Public Transport in Wallonia allows visitors to discover public transport from the past to the present day, in an area of 3500 m².
In a former tramway depot, some forty vehicles - carriages, trams, trolleybuses, etc. - bear witness to the history of mobility from the 18th century to the present day. Historical documents, sound effects, interactive devices... also complete the exhibition.
The visit will appeal to true enthusiasts as well as to the general public or those who are nostalgic.
The museum rents out both the exhibition room and the adjoining cafeteria and auditorium. The latter two spaces are not part of the accessibility audit. The audit is limited to the individual visit of the museum.
