London Transport Museum's collections cover a wide spectrum of materials and media, including vehicles, rolling stock, posters and original artworks, signs, uniforms, photographs, ephemera, maps and engineering drawings. Together, they make up the most comprehensive record of urban mass transit in the world.
By conserving and explaining the Capital city's transport heritage, London Transport Museum offers people an understanding of the Capital's past development and engages them in the debate about its future. We adopt the highest standards of curatorship and communication, and aim to be the world's leading museum of urban transport.
We are working to provide enhanced access to our collections through digitization. Our online collections include posters and photographs and can be consulted by everyone across the world.
We also work with other London museums, libraries and archives. One recent project has been the development, with a number of partners, of the 20th-century London website.
