Located in Haarlem, the NZH Public Transport Museum is a unique museum dedicated to the history of Dutch public transport, particularly the lines of the former company NZH (Noord-Zuid-Hollandsche). The museum traces over a century of regional mobility through a rich collection of historical buses, trams, uniforms, work tools, ticket booths, and period documents.
The highlight of the museum is the restored vehicles, displayed in an old but still active depot. Visitors can board original 20th-century trams and buses, some of which are still operated for special rides and commemorative events. Each vehicle tells a story of technology, urban planning, and the daily life of commuters of the past.
The museum is an ideal place for transportation history enthusiasts, families, and schools, thanks to interactive installations, temporary exhibitions, and educational spaces that engage visitors of all ages. Throughout the year, themed activities and demonstration days are organized to make the experience even more immersive.
Easily accessible from Amsterdam and surrounding cities, the NZH Museum is an original stop for those who want to discover a lesser-known but fascinating aspect of Dutch culture and modernization.
