Ever wondered whether there was a time when Johannesburg's roads weren't packed with speeding cars? Take some time to visit the James Hall Museum to find out more about the history of land transportation. The museum is a treasure trove of information and displays dealing with over a hundred years of land transport in all its forms. Our city's rich history of transportation is recreated at the James Hall Museum of Transport, which is dedicated to preserving the history of land transport in the city for posterity. Children will be in awe of the museum's collection of animal-drawn carts, ox-wagons, bicycles, coaches, motorbikes, steam locomotives, electric cars, fire engines and other self-propelled vehicles. The museum's bicycle display includes penny-farthings, a tandem and tricycles. In conjunction with the City Council, the late James Jimmie Hall founded the museum in 1964. Hall was a car enthusiast with a special interest in vintage models. The oldest motorcar on display is a 1900 Clement Panhard.
Peter Hall, son of Jimmie, was head of the museum until he retired at the end of December 2012. Peter honoured his father's legacy by collecting and preserving vintage cars. The museum houses a collection of over 2500 items and is the largest of its kind in South Africa. The museum appeals to a cross section of society, from school children learning about the history of transportation to enthusiasts from all over South Africa and overseas. Other remarkable items on display include rickshaws, which were used in Johannesburg until 1967, horse-drawn trams that were still in use at the turn of the last century and the last electric double-decker tram that ran through parts of Johannesburg back in 1961.
Early motorcycles that combined the principles of the bicycle and the internal combustion engine are on view, and visitors can also see a luxurious private coach from 1905, fire fighting vehicles like the 1913 Merryweather Steam pump and a 1959 Mayoral Rolls Royce. Funds are raised by The Friends of the Museum to help with the upkeep. Facilities: You may wish to use the picnic areas around the museum. The gift shop sells postcards and transport related items.

A visit to the South African Military Museum in Johannesburg
I've been meaning to make a video about the South African military museum in Johannesburg for some time. Unfortunately when I got there was a strict policy of no photographs in the main hall which limited my filming opportunities to the outside areas.
It's a fun morning out and I'm sure if I hadn't have been with my son I would have been able to spend more time looking at all of the exhibits.
It is a very dated museum and compares badly to the Imperial war museum in London. It's worth a visit if you are nearby but I wouldn't travel a long way to come.
