Thousands of people are expected to flock to Dundee’s latest tourist attraction, the city’s first Museum of Transport, when it opens its doors to the public on Saturday morning.
Streets around the museum, off Broughty Ferry Road, are being closed down over the weekend to accommodate families, classic and vintage vehicle enthusiasts and members of the public for the gala opening.
Dozens of cars, buses, lorries, fire engines, ambulances and even vintage tram cars will be on show over the weekend, which will also see a visit from 25 vintage and commercial vehicles belonging to local classic car clubs.Click here for a full photo galleryMembers of The Dundee Museum of Transport, which is housed in the former abattoir off Market Street, have been working furiously over the past few months to get the premises ready for the opening.
Jimmy McDonnell of the group said they were all looking forward immensely to the museum’s grand opening and urged the public to get behind the new attraction.
He said: “We’re all very excited about the opening, it’s been a long time coming and there’s still a lot of work to be done, but it’s looking good.”
The opening day starts at 11am. For full details of the museum, visit www.dmoft.co.uk.
