Streetlife Museum of Transport

About

Streetlife Museum in Hull invites visitors on a 200‑year journey through Britain’s vibrant transport history. Housed in a charming brick building on High Street, the museum showcases a living collection of vehicles, from muddy Victorian bicycles to sleek 1940s motorcars. The exhibits are arranged thematically – a dusty street corner which replicates a 1940s high street, a family room with a living‑history caravan, and the iconic double‑deck city bus that once roamed Hull’s streets. The museum is free to enter, making it a family‑friendly stop for locals and tourists alike. Visitors can wander the open‑shelf displays at their own pace, or sign up for scheduled events such as guided tours, workshops, and talks – many of which are also free, while others have modest ticket fees. The interactive learning centre is ideal for school groups, offering hands‑on activities that connect the past with the present. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a design lover, or simply curious about how vehicles have shaped life in Hull, Streetlife offers a tangible, engaging experience that transports you to bygone eras. Pack a sandwich, bring your kids or a camera, and step back into the world of 19th‐century factories, 20th‑century road trips and the stories that carried people and goods across Britain.
