Overview

The Museum of Technology and Transportation is housed in a repurposed historic tram depot in the Niemierzyn district of Szczecin. It preserves a comprehensive collection of Polish-made motor vehicles, including rare prototypes from the Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych. The exhibition features a significant array of Szczecin-produced bicycles, motorcycles, and vintage trams dating back to the late 19th century. Visitors can explore the history of municipal transport through restored rolling stock and buses that once serviced the city. Interactive displays allow for a deeper look at mechanical engineering evolution. The museum maintains the original industrial architecture of the 1912 depot, which serves as a backdrop for the collection.
