🚗💙 ONE LAST DUNDEE MOTOR NIGHT… FOR NOW! 💙🚗

After two fantastic years of Dundee Motor Night, we’re getting ready for one last night at our current museum — and we want to make it a good one!

We honestly can’t thank everyone enough for coming along over the last two years. From the car clubs and groups to the individual owners, regulars, first-timers and everyone who has simply come along to have a look.

We’ve loved being able to provide a place for Dundee’s motoring community to come together, share their passion, show off their cars and enjoy a good blether along the way. ❤️

But this isn’t goodbye! 👋

As we get ready for our brand-new museum at Maryfield Tram Depot, there will be a little pause while we get everything in place and work through the permissions needed to host events at our new home.

We cannot wait to welcome Dundee Motor Night back once we’re ready — and we’re already looking forward to seeing what the new venue will bring. Bigger, better and with plenty of opportunities to make Dundee Motor Night even more special!

So, for now, come along and join us for our final Dundee Motor Night at the current museum. Let’s make it one to remember! 🚗💙

And to everyone who has supported Dundee Motor Night over the last two years — thank you. We’re so happy to support our local motoring community, and we can’t wait to see you all again at the brand-new museum!

This is only the beginning… 👀

🚨WHAT DOES YOUR MEMBERSHIP MEAN DURING OUR MUSEUM CLOSURE? 🚨

As we prepare to close the doors of our current museum on 31 October 2026 and begin an exciting new chapter, we know some of you may be wondering what will happen to your membership while the museum is closed.

Your membership is more than a ticket to the museum — it’s a way of supporting our work and your community.

By being a member, you are supporting a local museum, our collections, our volunteers and the amazing work we do in your community. Your membership helps us continue to share stories, preserve our heritage, support events and activities, and keep the spirit of the museum going — even when our doors are closed.

During our closure, we’ll be working behind the scenes on the new museum, caring for our collection and planning plenty of ways to get out into the community. You’ll still see us out and about!

This next period is incredibly important for us, and we need your support more than ever. If you are already a member, we really hope you’ll choose to keep your membership and continue to be part of our journey towards our new museum at the restored Maryfield Tram Depot.

Your continued support genuinely makes a difference. 💙

Thank you for being part of our museum family — we couldn’t do it without you.

💙 THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR FIRST FORD DAY A DAY TO REMEMBER! 💙

What a day! Despite the Scottish weather doing its very best to test everyone, our very first Ford Day was an incredible success — and that is entirely thanks to the amazing people who made it happen.

A huge THANK YOU to Ford Elite for all your hard work in organising the event. We simply couldn’t have done it without you!

A special thank you also goes to the Pre 67 Ford Club, Capri Club Scotland, Dundee Ford Centre, all the other clubs who joined us, and every single wonderful Ford owner who braved the weather and brought along their fantastic cars. 🚗💙

This might have been our first Ford Day… but it certainly won’t be our last! 👀

Here’s to the first of many! 🥂💙

🚗🚋 There’s plenty happening at Dundee Museum of Transport this September!

We’ve got a brilliant month ahead at Market Mews, with Military Day kicking things off on Sunday 6 September, followed by the return of Dundee Bus Fest on Sunday 20 September.

Then, on Friday 25 September, we’ll be marking a particularly special occasion with the final Dundee Motor Night at Market Mews ahead of our future move to Maryfield.

And throughout the month, you can still visit Oor Trams: Dundee’s Tram Era Remembered, our exhibition celebrating the story of Dundee’s much-loved trams and the people, places and memories connected to them.

🏛️❤️ For the past 12 years, Market Mews has been the home of Dundee Museum of Transport - a place where thousands of visitors have discovered the stories, vehicles and people behind Dundee’s transport heritage.

As we look ahead to our future home at Maryfield Tram Depot in 2027, we’ll be spending some time over the coming months looking back at the memories made here at Market Mews.

From exhibitions and special events to restorations, new arrivals and countless conversations with visitors, a lot has happened within these walls.

With our move to Maryfield getting closer, this is your final chance to experience Dundee Museum of Transport at Market Mews after 12 memorable years.

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: After an incredible 12 years at Market Mews, Dundee Museum of Transport has announced that its current museum will close on 31 October 2026 as preparations ramp up for the move to the historic Maryfield Tram Depot.

The museum’s brand-new home at the restored Maryfield depot is expected to open in Autumn 2027, creating an exciting new chapter for Dundee’s transport heritage.

And the museum won’t simply disappear during the move. The team plans to get out and about across Dundee, taking the museum into the community with events, activities and plenty of opportunities to get involved while work continues at Maryfield.

There are still two months to experience Market Mews too - including Oor Trams exhibition, which runs right through until the museum closes on 31 October.

🚨 Big changes are coming! 🚨

After an incredible 12 years, we will be closing our museum on Market Mews on October 31, 2026 as we get ready for our next exciting chapter - our brand-new museum. While our doors will be closed, this definitely isn’t goodbye.

Our new museum at the restored Maryfield Tram Depot will open Autumn 2027, and there’s plenty happening between now and then. Over the coming months, you’ll see us out and about in the community, taking the museum to you and planning lots of exciting events, activities and opportunities to get involved.

So, there’s still plenty of time to visit us at our current museum before we close — and lots to look forward to afterwards.

One chapter is coming to an end, but an exciting new one is just beginning. ❤️

🏙️🚋 Imagine Dundee without the transport we take for granted today…

For generations of Dundonians, the tram was simply how you got around. To work, into town, to visit friends and family – the tramways were woven into everyday life across the city.

Oor Trams: Dundee’s Tram Era Remembered is your chance to step back into that Dundee and discover how people travelled through a city that would have looked very different from the one we know today.

Come and experience almost 80 years of Dundee transport history at Dundee Museum of Transport.

The exhibition is kindly supported by the .
