The Museum is located at Ferny Grove.
Founded in 1968 and opened to the public in 1980, the Brisbane Tramway Museum was born from a desire to preserve Brisbane’s tramway legacy. Nowadays, it operates as a not-for-profit, volunteer-run institution driven by education, preservation, and public engagement.
The Museum is located at 50 Tramway Street, Ferny Grove, next door to the Bowls Club.
