James Hall Museum of Transport
Over 400 years of transport history — animal-drawn vehicles, bicycles, motorcycles, buses, fire engines, trams and trolley buses.
About this tour
The James Hall Museum of Transport school tour, in La Rochelle, Johannesburg, is the largest and most comprehensive transport museum in South Africa. It is a CAPS-aligned History and Science & Technology excursion for Foundation, Intermediate and Senior learners across Gauteng.
More than 400 years of transport history fill the museum — animal-drawn vehicles, bicycles, motorcycles, buses, fire engines, vintage cars, trams and trolley buses. Educators link the exhibits to industrial development, technology and the changing way South Africans have moved goods and people over the centuries.
Wilrien School Tours handles the full educational excursion package: bus transport (if required) from your school, museum entry, professional guiding and teacher support — making it one of the most requested History school tours in Gauteng.
