Swedish Railway Museum, Railway museum in Gävle, Sweden.
The Swedish Railway Museum holds more than 100 locomotives and 150 coaches across its 16,000 square meters of exhibition space and outdoor yards.
Founded in 1915 in Stockholm by the National Railway Board, the museum relocated to Gävle in 1970 to expand its collection and accessibility.
The museum preserves several hundred thousand photographs documenting the evolution of Swedish railway transportation through extensive digital archives.
Located at Banskolevägen 11H, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with free entry for visitors under 19 years old.
Two round locomotive sheds and a large workshop house the collection of historical trains, instruments, models, crockery, textiles, and railway art.
