Shooting through: Sydney by tram

Past Exhibition

Trams are back in Sydney! Climb aboard at the Museum of Sydney for a fascinating journey along Sydney's once great tramway network. At its peak, after London’s, Sydney’s tramway network was the largest tramway system in the British Empire. In collaboration with the Sydney Tramway Museum at Loftus, this hands-on exhibition brings together tram memorabilia, photos and archival film spanning a one hundred year history from the first horse-drawn tram in Pitt Street in 1861 to the last electric tram (to La Perouse) in 1961. Experience the sights and sounds of the much-loved trams that played a crucial role in shaping Sydney.
