The modern equipment hardly suggests it: The DB Museum Nürnberg (DB Museum Nuremberg), founded in 1882, is probably the oldest Railroad Museum in the world. And it is big, too: on 6800 m² it shows the history of the railway in Germany from its beginnings around 1800 to the present - and also ventures a look into the future.The technical development is, however, only one of several interwoven narrative threads that illustrate in a multimedia and interactive way how the railway has fundamentally changed all areas of human existence and influenced world history. And so everyday things like the development of travel comfort or the working conditions of railway employees meet here with darker sides like the Reichsbahn as the logistical backbone of the war of extermination and the Holocaust. A separate section is devoted specifically to the era of German-German division. But the main protagonists are the vehicles themselves: A good 40 legends of the railways await visitors in two halls, from Germany's oldest preserved passenger car to a replica of the Adler (the first steam locomotive in Germany) and a design model of the ICE 4. In addition, there is a 15,000 m² outdoor area with a historic railway platform, interactive signals and a display depot with treasures from the museum's collections. In the children's railway land KIBALA, lots of buttons can be pushed, driving simulators and a Liliput train await the little visitors, with which they can ride through the entire exhibition area.
