sad news
July
Colleague museum (Amsterdam Public transport Museum) has been in the news because of their bankruptcy. Although very unfortunate, this has nothing to do with our Tramway museum, but we are forced to publish this news because it could have a negative effect on our visiting numbers.
We are and maintain in good order and keep running our vintage trams for your pleasure. Please read our timetable and do come and join the ride!!
