Railway museum in Dombóvár, Railway museum in Dombóvár, Hungary.

The Railway Museum in Dombóvár houses locomotives, railway cars, and technical equipment from different periods of Hungarian rail development. The collection displays vehicles of varying sizes and designs that represent different eras of rail transport.

The collection began with railway chief foreman Lajos Beles (1941–2007), who gathered items with colleagues and railway enthusiasts; it was housed in the MÁV Traction Directorate building in 1987–1988. After Beles's death, the former economic railway reception building on Gyár Street hosted the exhibition during the 2008 Night of Museums. The material later moved to the basement of the former music school, then to a former railway control centre (shelter) under a 2013 lease between MÁV and the Dombóvár City Beautification and Protection Association. Tamás Kertész became the museum's first director.

The museum shows how railways shaped connections between Hungarian communities through displays of historical photographs, technical drawings, and transport equipment. These collections reveal how vital the rail network was for regional development.

The museum occupies the former railway control centre, a shelter building whose lease MÁV and the Dombóvár City Beautification and City Protection Association signed on 9 May 2013. Visits are often arranged for groups, so plan ahead. The collection moved several times before settling here, so check the current location before travelling.

The collection features working mechanical demonstrations of railway signal systems and track switches that visitors can operate hands-on. These practical exhibits help visitors understand how historical railway equipment actually functioned.
