German Railway Museum Nuremberg

This museum showcases an extensive collection of historical locomotives, passenger carriages, and railway equipment spanning two centuries of German rail transport development and technological advancement.

Established in 1882, this facility represents the world's oldest railway museum and was originally the Royal Bavarian Railroad Museum before being incorporated into the Deutsche Bahn corporate museum network.

The museum regularly hosts special exhibitions, concerts, and lectures that highlight the cultural and social impact of railway development on German society and European transportation history.

Open Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and weekends from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, the museum offers reduced admission for Deutsche Bahn travelers and free entry with the Nürnberg Card.

The museum houses a massive 1960s model railway layout extending over 500 meters, representing the equivalent of five soccer fields in detailed miniature railway infrastructure and operations.
