Night of Museums at the Railway Museum
On May 16, 2026, we invite you to a unique edition of Museum Night at the Railway Museum. This year's event will transport visitors to the extraordinary world of old cinema, with steam locomotives as its graceful motif. A atmospheric cinema hall, styled after old movie theaters, will be created within the museum space, where films from the 1920s and 1930s will be screened. There will be animators dressed as silent film stars, with whom you can take souvenir photos. The whole experience will be complemented by visual design and props inspired by the era.
