The VlaTAM | Flemish Tram and Bus Museum preserves public transit history inside the heritage-listed Groenenhoek tram depot from 1912. Located in the Berchem neighborhood of Antwerp, the museum features a collection of more than 55 vintage vehicles dating from 1873 to the modern era. Visitors can explore key exhibits like Antwerp's first electric tram from 1900, a traditional steam tram, and the world's last surviving gyrobus. This distinct exhibition space also houses a specialized archive for historical research, offering families and students an educational look at how transit evolved.

The history of the VlaTAM | Flemish Tram and Bus Museum is tied to Antwerp's transit heritage. Originally constructed in 1912 as the Groenenhoek tram depot in Berchem, the building served regional transit needs before operational use ended in 1997. Curator Eric Keutgens played a key role in preserving the venue's extensive archives. The site officially opened as a museum in 2001, and following a **comprehensive renovation** project, it reopened to visitors in 2019.
