Bornholm Railway Museum

The Bornholm Railway Museum is a railway transport museum in Rønne that displays locomotives, carriages, and equipment from different periods of Danish transportation history. The collection spans vehicles and tools that show how the technology and design changed over roughly a century.

The museum preserves equipment from the island's railway network, which operated between 1900 and 1968 and connected remote villages across Bornholm. Service ended as road transport grew and other travel methods became more popular.

Local volunteers maintain the exhibits and share stories about how the railway shaped daily life on the island. The train service became a central part of how villages stayed connected and grew over time.

The museum occupies a former train station building and provides information panels in multiple languages plus educational programs for school groups. Plan enough time to explore both the outdoor vehicles and the indoor exhibition areas thoroughly.

The museum features a working miniature railway system that visitors can watch in operation during their visit. This model train demonstrates the mechanics and design at a smaller scale and appeals to both children and railway enthusiasts.
