Approximately 2,000 vehicle models on display A science museum themed around land, sea, and air vehicles
This is a science museum themed on land, sea and air vehicles, which are rare in Japan. The exhibition room on the second floor has about 2,000 vehicle models, and displays the transition of vehicles from the past to the present. The third and fourth floors are a large open space with a 20m diameter「Vehicle City」, one of the largest transportation panoramas in Japan, where you can operate a wide variety of vehicles with levers and buttons. In the library on the first floor, you can read books about vehicles and watch video materials in the video booth. In the outdoor plaza, there is an 「interesting bicycle」 (separate fee required for use) and an atomic bomb-damaged train on display, teaching us the importance of peace. In addition, craft classes, film screenings, science shows, etc. are held mainly on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, making it a fascinating facility where you can learn about vehicles and transportation while having fun. As of June 1, 2015, the name (pronounced) of the museum has changed from 「Hiroshima City Transportation Science Museum」 to 「Numaji Transportation Museum」.
