Honestly, it was a great disappointment. We are 2 transport enthusiasts and this museum has received such glorifying reviews that we thought we must try it, but if you come here to learn about transport, you're going to be disappointed. Firstly, the price is outrageous. 35 francs for only the museum? Seriously? I know that it's in Switzerland but still... There are much more interesting museums in Switzerland that are much cheaper. Secondly, the place feels more like a kids playground than a museum. It's full with shallow interactive gimmicks rather than with exhibits that give you value. In the train section for example, there were not that many models at all, and the museum failed to guide and give a sense of purpose to the collection. It just appeared as if they placed some random trains together in a building and called it a day. It fails to produce a story. The energy section was just laughable, it was a small room filled entirely with pointless childish games like managing the electrical consumption of your home by switching on and off devices. There was no value whatsoever in these games and they were not placed there to explain anything, but rather just to attract kids.

I was in several transport museums in the world and this has been by far the worst. The transport museum in Berlin for example is a masterpiece, it guides you through the history of transport development with so many replicas and seriously teaches you new things (the Berlin museum also has several sections and it handles them far better than this one). Even the Stuttgart tram museum, while much smaller was far more educating and interesting, the audio guide was good and showed how trams shaped the history of the city, and the museum felt far more meaningful. None of that in the Lucerne transport museum unfortunately.

This place is really over-hyped, it might be great if you're 5 years old, but if you actually want to learn something about transport I'd look elsewhere.
