Historic trams in the city centre of Rotterdam.

The Rotterdam Public Transport Museum (Dutch: Rotterdams Openbaar Vervoer Museum) is a transport museum in the Dutch city of Rotterdam and is located in a former tram depot. The museum was founded in 1997, although the depot was built in 1923 and its collection dates back to as far as 1880.[1][2] The museum's collection consists of dozens of historic trams, several buses and two metro trains. The museum is run entirely by volunteers and is only open to visitors for a few days each year.

The historic trams run through the city centre of Rotterdam several days a week as a tourist attraction (line 10).
