Nationaal Modelspoor Museum

The Nationaal Modelspoor Museum in Sneek holds a large collection of model trains, track systems, and carefully built layouts that represent different periods of European railway history. The displays feature miniature stations, villages, and cities created with great attention to detail.

The museum grew from a private collection that was eventually opened to the public. Over time, it became one of the most important collections of model railways in the Netherlands.

The exhibitions show how rail transport shaped Dutch society through the centuries. You can see this reflected in miniature stations, landscapes, and urban scenes that capture the importance of trains in people's daily lives.

Visitors can operate the model trains themselves and watch them travel through complex layouts. The museum is easy to navigate and offers plenty of space to explore the different railway scenes and displays.

The collection includes several complete European railway networks in miniature, some of which were developed by collectors over decades. This gives you an unusual look at how railways developed differently across various countries.
