Nuremberg Transport Museum
Nuremberg Transport Museum, Railway museum in Nuremberg, Germany
The Nuremberg Transport Museum is a railway museum in the city that displays historical locomotives, trains, and a large collection of model railways. The collection shows the development of railway technology across several decades with hundreds of original pieces and reproductions.
The museum was founded in 1899 and was Germany's first railway museum, born from passion for this new transportation technology. Its creation reflects the enthusiasm with which Bavaria developed and promoted railways.
The place tells the story of railways as a driving force behind industrial growth and Bavaria's role in leading this transformation. Visitors witness how trains reshaped daily life and commerce across the region.
A specialized archive with thousands of books on railway topics is available for visitors and can be accessed by advance arrangement. Plan sufficient time to explore both the vehicle exhibition and the archive.
One remarkable piece is a locomotive from 1882 that has operated longer than almost any other engine from that era. It demonstrates the durability of early railway engineering and the craftsmanship of locomotive builders.
