Dedicated to showcasing the past, present, and future of train travel, this new museum - opened in 2015 - is home to some 22 locomotive trains, along with more than a thousand items related to train travel. This museum tells the tale of railway travel from Belgium and across the world, looking back to the earliest trains and looking forward to see what train travel might look like in the not too distant future. Entry to the museum costs 10.00€ if you're aged between 26 and 65, and 7.50€ if you're outside of this age bracket.
