The museum invites families with children to explore and work together in order to learn the stories of railway artefacts, to climb into rail cars and locomotives, take a ride with a draisine, hunt for the best sports to take photos in, lift the roof off the station and call the station master. Railway enthusiasts will have a chance to examine the largest collection of wide-track vehicles in the Baltic States, participate in evening talks and purchase the latest books about railway as well as explore the museum’s collections in the online catalogue. For schoolchildren, the museum offers a wide range of educational programmes and summer camps. Visitors to the museum shouldn’t miss the chance to see the 44 square metre large railway mock-up, an early 20th-century car for transporting prisoners, the iconic Soviet-time electric train ER2, station master’s clocks once built on Latvian soil and various devices used for motion control and security.
