- W3209551059 abstract "When in 1970 Jack Simmons published his pioneering study Transport Museums inBritain and Western Europe, the dedicated transport museum was already well over70 years old – the first, a modest railway museum at Hamar, Norway, opened in 1897.But, as Simmons noted, the most spectacular growth came after the Second WorldWar, and not only in those parts of the world he had visited.1 Reliable figures arehard to come by, but even a few national statistics give some idea of the size andgeographical extent of the sector today, and its rate of growth over the last threedecades. Thus Britain, which in the late 1960s already had over 80 museums fallingunder the categories of ‘Transport’ and ‘Shipping’, now has well in excess of threetimes that number. There are nearly 250 sites dedicated to maritime heritage in theUnited States, and over 200 railroad museums. Australia has 26 railway museums;there are at least four in Latin America, and five in each of the continents of Africaand Asia. When one includes heritage transport – the operation of archaic vehicles forpublic display or carriage – the number of museums, broadly conceived, becomesmuch larger. The number of heritage railroads in the United States, for example, all ofwhich have opened in their present form since 1945, adds more than half again to thatof conventional railroad museums.2" @default.
