The National Railway Museum is the largest railway museum in the world and the most visited English museum outside of London. As a National Museum entrance to the museum is free. We receive a grant from the Department of Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) which goes towards basic running costs e.g heating; lighting etc. By donating now you are helping us secure the work of the NRM for future generations.

With your help we can: Be a world-class museum where people from all walks of life will choose to explore how railways help shape our world. Change how people think, talk and act about railways and transport and their impact on our lives. Inspire our visitors with our collections, enabling them to understand more about the development of the modern world and its relevance to the future, and motivate them to learn more. Help us to become the most admired Museum in the world.
