Brisbane Transport Museum Open Day

7 February
Brisbane Transport Museum Open Day

Step back in time at the Brisbane Transport Museum this June 2026 for a unique look at Queensland’s heritage buses. Located in Nathan, the museum hosts monthly open days where Brisbane families can explore vintage coaches and rare transport memorabilia. It is an educational and engaging local outing for kids and history enthusiasts alike.

Brisbane Transport Museum Open Days 2026

The Brisbane Transport Museum, located at 600 Mains Road, Nathan, is home to the largest display of heritage buses and coaches in Queensland with a current fleet of vehicles spanning from 1938 to 1996 models. The majority of these buses operated for Brisbane City Council and form a significant part of Brisbane’s transport heritage.

The Museum possesses a large collection of rare photos and industry memorabilia that represent over a century of passenger transport history. The majority of these items have not previously been showcased to the public on a permanent basis.

The Museum also features a dedicated Brisbane City Council history display which covers the first buses in 1925 right through to the current state-of-the-art Brisbane Metro vehicles.
