STEAM - Museum of the GWR

STEAM - Museum of the GWR

Climb aboard locomotives, be a signalman and walk underneath 80 tons of metal!

Follow the incredible story of the GWR through lots of imaginative displays and plenty of hands-on exhibits. Build a bridge and shunt wagons. Have a go at putting a locomotive together. Take a ride on our train-driving simulator.

Find out more about locomotive heroes such as Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

We offer cross-curricular learning sessions for KS1, KS2 and KS3, using original objects, costumes and drama. Find out about how we support School Visits HERE.
