Nationaal Bus Museum: see the bus from the inside

The bus is everyday transport, but at the Nationaal Bus Museum in Hoogezand the vehicle itself becomes the subject. Here you can look at it through the eyes of both a passenger and a driver.

A collection of vehicles

The museum describes a collection of historic buses. During your visit, choose a few visible features to compare: the entrance, the windows, the driver’s position. That makes the differences between vehicles more concrete than a mere list of names.

Behind the wheel

On its visitor page, the museum mentions a bus simulator in restaurant De Remise. Ask whether it is available. A simulator can prompt you to ask what a driver has to keep track of, but it does not automatically tell you what driving each historic bus felt like.

More than the exterior

The offering also includes a shop with books and miniature buses. If you want to see a particular vehicle again or read more about it, you can ask there for suitable information. If you have a special interest, check in advance which buses are on display.

Before you go

There are additional opening days during the school holidays. The museum describes the site and car park as wheelchair-friendly; ask separately about access to the vehicles.
