Museumstoomdepot: one depot, several names

Museumstoomdepot is the same venue as Museum Stoomdepot of Stoom Stichting Nederland. Locomotives, carriages and a workshop setting come together on the Rolf Hartkoornweg; the two spellings do not indicate separate museums.

Plan your visit ↗

Preservation takes work

A locomotive in a depot is both a collection object and rolling stock that may need maintenance. See what explanations of care and technology are available and what work is visible at that moment.

From shed to model railway

The model railway offers a change of scale after the large rolling stock. Check in advance whether the upper floor is accessible for your group and whether the railway is available during your visit.

A guided visit

A guided tour can give more context than looking around on your own. It must be arranged in advance; it is not an automatic part of every admission to the depot.

Before you go

Check the difference between Wednesday and Saturday hours and the closures on public holidays. The workshop has its own visitor routes; ask in advance about accessibility and any restrictions on event days.
