Museum/Gallery

Tucked away in Chanakyapuri, the National Rail Museum is a treasure trove that feels like stepping into India’s railway past. Since opening in 1977, it has preserved the romance of train travel with an extraordinary collection of locomotives, royal saloons, and working models. Walking through its galleries, you encounter the grandeur of the Maharaja of Mysore’s Saloon, the elegance of the Prince of Wales’ coach, and the raw power of steam engines that once crisscrossed the subcontinent. Families are drawn to the Joy Train and Diesel Simulator, which transform history into hands‑on adventure, making the museum both nostalgic and delightfully interactive.
