The Museum of Urban Transportation MPK-Łódź, located at 51 Wierzbowa Street, is an institution with a rich history and diverse collections. It was opened on September 22, 2006, thanks to the initiative of the Municipal Transport Company – Łódź Sp. z o.o. and the Club of Old Tram Enthusiasts. The museum continues the legacy of the MPK Tradition Chamber, which had been operating since 1977. Its architecture, an adaptation of an existing building, blends harmoniously into its surroundings, creating a welcoming space for both local residents and tourists. Culturally, the museum plays a significant role in preserving the memory of over 100 years of urban transportation history in Łódź.
