Situated in the historic Umurbey neighborhood of Yıldırım district, the museum is housed in a renovated building of 17,000 m2 (180,000 sq ft) that was an abandoned silk production plant. The facility was leased to the Bursa-based Tofaş Company for museum purposes by the Metropolitan Municipality of Bursa.[1][2][4]
The museum's collection consists of historic carriages including a two-axle horse-drawn Bursa carriage, oxen drawn carts, canon carriages, wains for hay and firewood, phaetons, powered carriages, Tatar carriage, which are examples of fine carpentry and blacksmithing. The most important exhibit of the museum is the replica of a 6th-century B.C. chariot, which was reproduced between 1998 and 1999 from artifacts unearthed during roadworks in a crypt at Üçpınar Tumulus near Balıkesir.[4][6] The chariot was formerly on display at the Bursa Archaeological Museum.[1][2][3][7]
