The museum was established in 1967, and is the oldest museum of electrical transport in Russia. It is based at the old Vasileostrovsky tram depot in Saint Petersburg which was built in 1906–1908. To celebrate the 90th anniversary of the St. Petersburg tram, examples of the trams that have been used in St. Petersburg have been restored. There are also static exhibits: archival documents and photos, cards, breadboard models of horsecars and trams, examples of tram worker uniforms, and original cash registers. On 21 May 2011, the museum took part in the Long Night of Museums event for the first time.
