Your nostalgic visit to the Railway Museum starts in the old Maliebaan Station, where you are the first train passenger in 1874. A direct train to Paris used to depart from this station twice a day.  Wander through wonderful rooms with marble floors, chandeliers, and a royal waiting room.  Look out of the window of this waiting room and you can see the royal train - the train on which Queen Juliana used to go on holiday with her children and grandchildren. In this attractive Maliebaan Station you will be welcomed with coffee, tea, and snacks.

In the new museum building you can meet the man behind the first steam locomotive in the land of the Great Discovery.  Let passengers from the Orient Express tell you about their oriental experiences. The Gommers family will guide you past, over, and under the most impressive locomotives from the 20’s and 30’s.  A lovely lunch awaits you in the museum restaurant.  Visit the outdoor area and watch the theater performance in the land of Dream Journeys.  A guided tour of the favorite trains of one of our guides will make this day an unforgettable journey back in time.

Walking to the museum ‘from musical clock to street organ’

Unfortunately, increasingly fewer street organs liven up the streets of Holland these days.  Just as well that you can still see and hear them in the National Museum from Musical Clock to Street Organ in Utrecht.  The collection comprises musical clocks, music boxes, pianolas, orchestrions, street organs, fairground organs, and dance hall organs.  The instruments are demonstrated during guided tours. The repertoire ranges from classical tunes to ‘tearjerkers’ and from Vienna waltzes to modern house music.
