Learning
At the Victorian Transport Museum, we believe that transport history is more than just vehicles — it's about people, places, and progress. Our Learning programs are designed to engage students, educators, families, and lifelong learners with the rich story of public transport in Victoria and Australia.
Explore Through Learning
Our online resources bring the museum experience to your classroom or home. Whether you're a teacher planning a unit on local history or a curious learner looking to discover something new, our materials are accessible, engaging, and designed to spark curiosity.
What We Offer:
Educational Resources: Curriculum-aligned worksheets, lesson plans, and activity packs for primary and secondary students.
Digital Exhibits: Interactive stories and themed galleries exploring topics like Melbourne’s tram network, ticketing through the decades, and the impact of transport on suburban growth.
Learning Guides: Fact sheets and visual timelines that explain transport innovation and infrastructure.
Transport Stories: First-hand accounts from drivers, conductors, and passengers — bringing history to life through lived experience.

Virtual excursions and custom presentations can be arranged for schools or community groups. We're also happy to assist with project-based learning and student research inquiries.

Onsite school visits and guided tours
Workshops and interactive exhibits
Professional development sessions for educators
