Utrecht: Railway City exhibition (on display until dec. 13)

 

The first train rolled into Utrecht in 1843. Before long Utrecht would develop into the busiest railway city in the Netherlands, with workshops, stations and even entire neighbourhoods for railway workers. At the Utrecht: Railway City exhibition you can learn all about the tumultuous evolution of the city and its railway over the last 175 years.

What is there to see and do?

  • Check out beautiful photos, drawings, maps and videos about the history of the city and its railway.
  • Take a seat in the railway station cinema of the past.
  • Admire the 3D scale model of the famous Utrecht Central railway station by Sybold van Ravesteyn (on display from February 2019).
