Interchange
Children aged from 7 to 11 can explore the Museum's collection in this interactive hands-on area. They can discover the range of people who have worked on public transport in London over the last 200 years, try on replica costumes and guess the origins of our mystery objects. The highlight of a visit to the gallery is a chance to drive our Optare bus.
Your group will be automatically allocated a slot in your visit timetable to enjoy this area, free of charge.
Gallery supported by the Luke Rees-Pulley Charitable Trust.
