The main railway museum in our country and one of the largest in the world opened on October 30, 2017 to mark the 180th anniversary of Russian railways.
On the territory of more than 50 thousand square meters there are two buildings, united by a glass gallery with a suspension bridge. This is an old locomotive depot and a modern museum and exhibition building. Visitors will see a collection of rare and legendary steam locomotives, diesel locomotives, electric locomotives, wagons and other railway equipment. Historical exhibits coexist with working models and interactive installations.
The museum has a unique simulator - "Diesel Locomotive Driver's Cabin", where everyone can try himself in this role. It also hosts temporary exhibitions, lectures and film screenings, events for children and teenagers.
