Description
With its 50-year-old history, the Dresden Transport Museum (VMD) is one of Dresden?s newer museums. Its inception in 1952 as one of the first cultural institutions in the former GDR after the Second World War was directly connected with the establishment of the Hochschule f?r Verkehrswesen (College of Transport).
The origin and tradition of the museum, however, can be dated to the year 1877, when the collectiton of the later Saxon Railway Museum began, which was housed in the Dresden-Neustadt railway station until the Second World War. This museum, therefore, traces back to one of Germany?s oldest technical collections.
