The Railway museum is split into several parts. The entry, the 19th-century station on Maliebaan, has been fully restored to its former glory. Here you feel like the first passenger in a recently completed station in 1874. A lavishly painted booking hall with chandeliers, a 1st and 2nd class waiting room, a luxury dining room and even toilets with a 19th-century feel show you how the station was once the gateway to the world. The Railway museum owns an extensive collection of locomotives, trains, carriages, scale, steam machines, paintings, railway materials and objects, which are on display in the other parts of the museum.
