Railroad Museum in Silesia

This large – by European standards – railroad museum was established in 2005 on the site of a historic 1908 locomotive depot in Jaworzyna Slaska, Lower Silesia. The museum is located on railroad land of over 2 hectares with preserved railroad infrastructure, locomotive depot buildings and technical facilities. The collection includes more than 120 railroad vehicles dating from 1880 to the 1970s. Tours include a ride on a vintage train along the so-called “Steam Locomotive Route:” on the museum grounds. Since 2015, based on the steam locomotive, Tkt48/18, which was renovated with its own forces, as well as antique train cars from the 1920s, the Museum has been conducting regular rides for tourists to various attractive places in Silesia.

Permanent exhibitions

After a two-year hiatus, the museum invites visitors to the new permanent exhibitions of the Silesian Railway Museum. In 2016, the former locomotive depot workshop building in Jaworzyna Slaska housing the exhibition space was closed and underwent a major renovation, which included replacing the roofing and windows, overhauling the electrical system and installing heating.

The final stage of the museum’s modernization was the organization of new permanent exhibitions of the Silesian Railway Museum presenting the history of railroads and railroad technology from the 19th century to the communist period. In a partially chronological arrangement, 7 thematic exhibition spaces were distinguished: Warden 1930 (the history of railroads in Jaworzyna 1945-1990), the ODRA workshop (presenting the only ODRA 1305 digital computing machine in Lower Silesia), the Railway Cash Register, Railway Labor Medicine, the PKP Printing House and a historic H0 railroad mock-up presented in a new arrangement.
