VISIT THE COLLECTION

The Museum of Transology's collection of over 1000 artefacts is currently housed at the Bishopsgate Institute's Special Collections and Archives. You can visit the archive for free (without showing I.D.) and request to see any artefact in the collection. The team will collect it for you, and you are welcome to both study and photograph any object. The collection is continuously drawn upon for exhibitions right across the UK, to be shown both in community spaces and museums.
