On 14 June, doors of DKV’s tram depot and the Transport History Museum will open once again as part of Night of Museums.

As visitors stroll among modern tram sets and legendary heritage vehicles, they will be greeted by special lighting, hidden details and an atmosphere unlike anything seen before.

From the meeting of metal and shadow emerges one of the city’s most enigmatic nights, where the past and the future continue along the same pair of rails.

Discover the secrets of the depot, step behind the scenes, and experience the magical side of public transport as never before.
