Locomotion on the Road

Our volunteer-led care home sessions take residents on a journey from the museum’s origins through the collection highlights.

These 60-minute visual presentations walk residents through the history of the museum and the significance of the Shildon location, with a look at some of the first exhibits to arrive on site, some of the more unusual vehicles we have on display and the most popular objects.

Each presentation ends with a glimpse into exciting updates around the developments and programming at the museum.

Throughout, our volunteers share anecdotes about the vehicles and their lives in the collection—the human stories associated with them.
