The Nuremberg Transport Museum, or Verkehrsmuseum Nürnberg in German, is a museum dedicated to the history of transportation. It is located in the northern part of Nuremberg, Germany, and is housed in a former locomotive depot. The museum has a vast collection of exhibits, including over 100 locomotives, railway cars, and other vehicles, covering the history of transportation from the early days of rail travel to modern times.

The exhibits include steam locomotives, electric locomotives, diesel locomotives, railcars, wagons, trams, buses, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and even aircraft. Some of the highlights of the collection include the Bavarian S 3/6 steam locomotive, which is one of the largest steam locomotives ever built, and the "Flying Hamburger," a streamlined train that set speed records in the 1930s.

The museum also has interactive exhibits, such as simulators that allow visitors to experience what it's like to drive a train or fly a plane. Additionally, the museum has a large model railway layout, which covers an area of over 800 square meters and depicts a fictional German town and its surrounding countryside.
