The many purposes of museums and ways in which they communicate with their visitors are not well understood by transport historians. Transport museums are not normally appropriate places in which to raise the finer points of academic debate. However, they appeal to wide audiences and are important as locations in which visitors can explore collective identities grounded in particular readings of the interaction between transport and everyday life in the past. Artefacts are particularly important for this process. The academic historian who realizes this has much to offer the development of a dialogue in the museum between expert and lay knowledge of transport's past
