Pyskowice railway museum, Railway museum in Pyskowice, Poland.
The Pyskowice railway museum is an open-air museum in Poland displaying steam locomotives, carriages, and railway equipment. The exhibits are arranged on the grounds of a former locomotive depot and include vehicles and mechanical systems from different periods.
The site was a strategic railway junction during World War II with significant military importance. The museum was established in 1998 within the buildings of this former operational facility.
The museum holds artifacts that show how Polish railways grew and changed over time. These objects tell the story of how trains connected communities across the country.
Visitors should arrange a visit in advance to access the museum grounds and explore the collection. Volunteers on site offer guidance through the locomotives and explain the machinery.
A well-preserved roundhouse building on the grounds contains restoration workshops where specialists actively work on the locomotives. Visitors sometimes get to see the ongoing restoration work on these historic machines.
