The government has decided to introduce additional measures for the next two weeks on top of the current partial lockdown. This means that the Railway Museum will be closed for the next two weeks, from 5 to 18 November.
I have already made a reservation, what now?
The reservation will automatically expire, you do not have to cancel. When the museum is open again, you can make a new reservation.
I have already bought a ticket (online). Will I get my money back?
No, the museum does not take back tickets once purchased. A ticket remains valid for one year, so you can visit the museum at a later time. Please remember to make a reservation.
When will the Railway Museum reopen?
The closure is for a period of two weeks, i.e. until 18 November. We hope that we can reopen after that, but that depends on the government’s covid measures.
The Railway Museum is open from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 and 17:00.
We are also open on these days:
Mondays during all official Dutch school holidays
Easter Sunday and Easter Monday
Whit Sunday and Whit Monday
Christmas Day and Boxing Day
New Year’s Day
We are closed on:
King’s Day (27 April)

Travelling by train requires a valid NS ticket or chip card. You can pay for the rail shuttle using your OV Chipkaart. It is possible to check in and out at the Railway Museum.
