Oslo Tramway Museum ({{langx|no|Sporveismuseet}} is a railway museum located at Majorstuen in Oslo, Norway. It is dedicated to the preservation of the Oslo Tramway, Oslo T-bane, Oslo trolleybus and buses used in Oslo. The museum is run by the non-profit organization Lokaltrafikkhistorisk Forening with 645 members (2019). The museum also operates a heritage tramway in Vinterbro outside Oslo.{{cite web |url=http://www.sporveismuseet.no/ltf/ltf.html |title=Om LTF |author=Lokaltrafikkhistorisk Forening |date=29 August 2000 |access-date=17 March 2009 |language=no |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110515010504/http://www.sporveismuseet.no/ltf/ltf.html |archive-date=15 May 2011 }}
Lokaltrafikkhistorisk Forening was founded in 1966, six years after the city council had decided to close down the tramway and trolleybus. This followed the closing of the Bergen Tramway, where only a single tram had been kept. As of 2004, the museum had 56 rail vehicles, 31 buses and seven other vehicles. This included four trolleybuses.{{cite web |url=http://sporveismuseet.no/ltf/vognparken.html |title=Vognparken |author=Lokaltrafikkhistorisk Forening |date=20 March 2004 |access-date=17 March 2009 |language=no |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110611112229/http://www.sporveismuseet.no/ltf/vognparken.html |archive-date=11 June 2011 }}

Vinterbro
At Vinterbro, located just west of the amusement park Tusenfryd, the museum has built a {{convert|300|m|ft}}, {{Track gauge|1435mm|allk=on}}, heritage tramway. Construction has been under way since the 1970s. It includes the former station building of Slemdal Station, dismantled and then reassembled on site, and a Narvesen kiosk.{{cite web |url=http://www.sporveismuseet.no/museum/ves.html |title=Informasjon on museet |author=Lokaltrafikkhistorisk Forening |date=29 April 2008 |access-date=17 March 2009 |language=no |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110515004116/http://www.sporveismuseet.no/museum/ves.html |archive-date=15 May 2011 }} In late 2008 the overhead wires were stolen, so that Vinterbro has been closed for public since then.
