The Egged Historical Center, formerly known as the Egged Museum is located in the back corner of Egged's Holon bus facility, on Sderot Moshe Dayan. The Egged Historical Center presents more than 60 buses that have been lovingly collected, built and renovated, and which reflect nearly seventy years of public transport in the Land of Israel. A visit to the museum reveals to the visitors the history of public transportation, beginning with British Army surplus trucks that were converted into passenger vehicles after World War I up to the modern and air-conditioned buses of today. The museum is open to the public in the mornings on Fridays year round and also during the intermediate days of Sukkot and Passover. Admission is free.
