As the museum covers an extensive area, the trolleybuses and tram provide a useful service, linking various sections of the complex with the main entrance. It is the only operating double-deck trolleybus route anywhere globally. The Black Country Living Museum is an open-air museum of rebuilt historic buildings, located in Dudley in the West Midlands of England. The museum occupies a 26 acre (105,000 m²) urban heritage park in the shadow of Dudley Castle in the centre of the Black Country conurbation. It was first opened, on land reclaimed from a former railway goods yard, in 1976 and since then many more exhibits have been added to it.

 Canal boat at the Black Country Living Museum. Houses, shops and public buildings have been rebuilt to create a single early 20th century street, peopled by staff in period costume. Some of these buildings are still used in their original function, such as the pub, the sweet shop, the church and the 'chippy'. Others are faithful replicas of their last use, with goods in the windows. Still others are only shells of the originals, such as the bath house. By immersing the visitor in the everyday objects of life, it becomes clearer how things connected.
