Tram shelter
A stylish place to wait.
Anyone waiting for a tram in Arnhem could often do so in an attractive shelter. Grand-looking little buildings like this one stood at the tram stops on the city’s squares until after the Second World War. During the war Arnhem’s tram depot and virtually all the trams were destroyed. The decision was taken to switch over to the trolleybus and these elegant shelters disappeared from the city’s streets. This shelter is a replica of one dating from 1925 that stood on the station square, as it was then, in Arnhem. It was donated by the Association of Friends of the Netherlands Open Air Museum. The clock is a reconstruction of the ones that displayed the time to passengers in Arnhem until 1944.
Reconstruction, constructed here in 1996.
