Catalogue information
Construction of the 1.7-kilometre tram route began in 1993, which was completed three years later. On April 4, 1996, Prof. Pieter van Vollenhoven made the first tram ride through the museum. He also opened the rebuilt tram depot in the museum. The HTM 274 visible in the image will be exactly 100 years old in 2021. It is the oldest tram in the museum but also the strongest. This tram served in The Hague until 1963. It belonged to the series 250-279, built by HAWA in Hanover. This Haagse Tramweg Maatschappij (HTM) 274 ended up in the Open Air Museum, where it was thoroughly renovated between 1996 and 2001 and furnished in the style of the 1920s. The tram has become an integral part of the Dutch Open Air Museum. A visit to the Dutch Open Air Museum is not complete without a ride on the tram.
