Samara railway museum

The Samara railway museum is a place where locomotives, train cars, and technical equipment from different eras are on display. The collection shows how rail transport developed in this region through multiple exhibition areas.

The museum opened in 1997 to preserve the history of railways in this area. It documents how rail transport grew and changed from its earliest days to modern times.

The museum displays railway objects that show how trains shaped the region's development and daily life. You can see how transportation connected Samara to other parts of Russia and influenced the city's growth.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, so plan your visit for one of those days. Guided tours are available to help you learn more about the displays and the objects on show.
