The Transport Museum, Wythall is a transport museum just outside Birmingham, at Chapel Lane, Wythall, Worcestershire, England.[1] The museum was originally run by the charity The Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Trust (BaMMOT).

The museum has three halls, presenting a significant collection of preserved buses and coaches, including Midland Red and Birmingham City Transport vehicles, a collection of battery electric vehicles such as milk floats, and a Tilling-Stevens petrol-electric bus.
In 2016 the Trust became a charitable incorporated organisation called Transport Museum Wythall (TMW), registered number 1167872.[2] In 2025 the museum received an Aurrigo Auto-Shuttle which had originally been built to test driverless public transport.[3]
