The NSW Rail Museum has a vast collection that provides a range of hands-on teaching and learning opportunities for school groups.
The railways revolutionised the lives of ordinary people in NSW: they brought people together, allowed the transport of goods and services across great distances and into new areas, introduced ‘railway time’ and timetabling, provided people with jobs and built communities. Each object on display at the NSW Rail Museum has its own story to tell about the social, economic and technological significance of the railways to the state’s history.
We offer both guided and teacher-led education program options. The guided program lasts for 90 minutes and includes a tour and student activity booklet. The Teachers Notes provide supporting material for teacher-led tours, including a suggested museum trail and prompt questions.
