Up until 2015, the whole collection of National Coach Museum was situated in a former riding arena which served as a museum. Later, it was decided that the museum needs a new exhibition space and in May 2015, the new museum was opened, only a short walk from the old one that was renamed to Royal Riding School.
The new building serves not only as an exhibition area but also as a space for workshops and other events. The museum still focuses on showcasing various types of carriages and the collection traces the evolution of this kind of transportation from as early as the 16th century.
