Super museum.
August 20
A great place to visit with children or for lovers of rare railway equipment or just to spend time. The museum is located near the main entrance to the Brest Fortress, so you can combine visits to two sites in one day. The locomotives themselves are presented in a wide range. One of them is half covered with a transparent material so that you can see all its internal mechanisms - an interesting idea. The only thing I would like to get inside the cabin or wagons, but unfortunately it will only be possible in a couple of the whole variety, because the rest are closed and they can only be viewed from the outside. There is also an indoor pavilion on the territory, where models of railways with toy trains running on them are presented.

An open-air museum. It's nice to walk. All the exhibits, despite the antiquity, are in excellent condition. Like the whole of Belarus. Some steam locomotives can be climbed and viewed and touched inside the cabin. The children are very interested. Some of the locomotives were filmed, that is, they are on the move. And this causes great respect for the museum staff. The exposition is not tedious. The whole museum can be bypassed right now with a leisurely step. The museum opens at 11 a.m. It's a pity. It would be more convenient to look at it at 10, and in the process look at the next one (saved valuables).

An amazing museum! Parking for cars is small, but there is . Tickets are relatively inexpensive. You can climb almost all the exhibits, and you can visit the driver's cabin in two steam locomotives. Several copies are on the go , they are being filmed . There is a souvenir shop, as well as ice cream and drinks, WC . We spent 2 hours there with a child ( a girl , 9 years old) , barely persuaded to leave)))

I liked everything very much, we were with the children of 5 and 3 years old. The entrance was free for children, mothers for 7p. It's very cheap even. The children went in, watched, climbed, entered the wagons (only one was open for viewing, the rest only through the glazed window), of course I would like to touch and sit in the wagons more. In general, it is very interesting to go and spend your leisure time this time. There are many stands with interesting information. The museum on the territory is free to visit. The bell was struck, and the children remembered it very much. If you go without children, then I would take a guide, I think you would learn a lot of interesting things. But with children listening and going to consider, it's just unrealistic. There is also a bathroom on site. I was very pleased with the availability of toilet paper, as well as the place was clean, but there was no hand soap, and after the locomotives we were all dirty. There is still not enough cafe. It was closed. The children, very hungry, began to whine. That was the end of our walk, we went to the city to look for food😉

The museum is interesting, a lot of information can be read in the building, locomotives of different models, production, and release years are on display. Everything is on a real scale. The dimensions are impressive. There are full-size layouts in the section to see the principle of the device. You can enter some driver cabins. You can touch all the exhibits and climb on them for a photo. The ticket price for an adult is 7p. There is no point in posting a lot of photos, visit - you will see everything with your own eyes.

All lovers of railway equipment and just lovers of technology are required to visit. Some steam locomotives can be climbed directly into the cabin! There are even modern diesel locomotives, although it is impossible to get into their cabin, but you can easily see through the glass how the driver's workplace is arranged. I got the impression that most of the exhibits can be put on the move at minimal cost, everything is in perfect condition!

The Museum of Railway Technology in Brest is an amazing place where you can immerse yourself in the history of railway transport. The museum presents various steam locomotives, locomotives, wagons and other exhibits that are perfectly preserved and arouse the interest of visitors.
The museum's exposition allows you to learn about the development of railway transport in Belarus and in the world, imagine what technologies were used at different times and what changes have occurred in this industry over the past decades. For fans of railways, this place is definitely worth a visit!
The Museum of Railway Equipment in Brest is a great place for an educational walk and for lovers of the history of transport.

I was happy to visit the museum with my family! It was very interesting! A large number of real diesel locomotives, steam locomotives, special wagons! And in the pavilion there is an interesting exposition of equipment and objects. Children will be especially interested in a moving model of a railway with trains!

a great place, a bosh museum, multiple trains, a lot of exhibits where you can get in, take a look, perhaps work on it, the kids will go inside. and so great, there is also a museum building where a model train rides, cool, all-Soviet. it is a pity that the topic of World War II spies and the attack on the Brest fortress from the railway station has not been disclosed
, I advise you to visit

One of the best museums. Under the open sky. You can touch a lot with your hands and see it with your own eyes. Cool photos, wonderful exhibits. Great experiences and lots of fun. I definitely recommend you to visit.

The museum is unique, with the outgoing power - hopefully temporarily, of the railway - locomotives, wagons and artifacts of the history of one of the most important sectors of the country's life were collected. I took the children on an excursion, and I myself was delighted with the safety of the equipment, the content of the museum exposition and, of course, the work of the museum staff. The organization of accounting documents, the personal participation of the director, the lovely ladies at the checkout and the coolest guides - the beauty of the cultural and sports center of the railway impressed. The museum's exposition is concise and huge at the same time, here from a locomotive with a 180 cm wheel to a 19th century conductor's cap, and a carriage... and the glass body of the locomotive... and the nameplates... Children don't catch up with everything, but adults have something to think about, as they say in a southern city... I recommend. Walk slowly.

A very cool open-air museum of railway equipment, from steam locomotives to diesel locomotives. Some exhibits have access. You can feel like a machinist of the legendary TE-3, or appreciate the gigantic size of the boiler of a steam locomotive. In addition, there are many exhibits of railway infrastructure, all those interested will not remain indifferent!

I highly recommend visiting this museum to all residents and guests of Brest. A lot of effort and money has been invested by railway employees in all units of equipment. An unforgettable exposition. An open-air museum. A lot of work has been invested here by people who have collected, restored and maintained equipment in good condition, copies of which have remained in a single quantity. I highly recommend it.

We liked the museum. We went by ourselves without a guide, everything is signed and there are even detailed historical stories somewhere.
All the locomotives are on the street, one could climb inside the cabin. There is also a museum part in the building - there are appliances and air conditioners.
In a cafe, you just won't be able to eat normally, rather just drink and have a very light snack with a hot dog. So don't count on the cafe if you're hungry.

It's a good exposition. A good collection of railway equipment from the era of Great Civilization is deployed in a small area.
Of the disadvantages, the cabins of almost all locomotives used to be available, now only one.

A very interesting museum for people who are fascinated by railway technology. There are a lot of different steam locomotives and vintage wagons. It is a pity that not all of them can be entered and there would be more modern diesel and electric locomotives to fully see the progress of technology development.

I visited this museum 10 years after my last visit. There are a lot of new and interesting things. The rolling stock is all operational. They periodically participate in filming. The 5-year-old kid really enjoyed climbing everywhere. A very interesting museum of the Brest-Litovsk Railway has appeared with a mini Grand layout inside. Cafes, souvenirs, toilets.
Personally, I was impressed by the sections of the locomotive and diesel locomotive under glass.
The only drawbacks are the discrepancy between the installed plates, but this confusion, as I was explained, is due to the participation of rolling stock in filming.

A very pleasant place! Throughout our walk through the museum, we were haunted by the feeling that every locomotive has its own soul. There are exhibits from tsarist times. Very impressive. There are a lot of interesting things in the exhibition hall and wonderful trains that travel according to the layout. Stuck there for a long time)

A very nice and unusual museum. On some trains, you can climb inside. Very informative. The size of the old steam locomotives is impressive. The staff takes care of the safety of visitors and does not allow them to climb where they should not, which is important when visiting with children.

There are quite a lot of railway equipment. It's good that they didn't just put up several locomotives and wagons, but created a menno museum. There is also a trolley and an arrow device, you can see and understand the principle of operation of a steam locomotive. Very interesting. Not surprisingly, we met several groups of children there on an excursion. And the adults were passionate about the exhibits. We liked it!

Oh, one of the most interesting places associated with the exhibition of technology. The museum is excellent, you can not only study the locomotive externally, but also enter the driver's cabin. There is a pavilion with a bouquet, souvenirs and toilets. The only thing is, if you go in hot weather, take a drink and panama hats.

Even for those who are not interested in foreign topics, it will be interesting to visit, there are steam and diesel locomotives in the section with transparent walls explaining the principle of operation - it is very interesting. At the end there is a museum in a building with exhibits, and even with a working mini-iron (more precisely, cast iron) road.

Everything that is written here eloquently is true. The museum is beautiful. There are no disadvantages. We were surprised by the souvenirs, very beautiful and thoughtful in the theme of the railway. It's a bit expensive for the scene, but it's worth it. There is definitely no such thing anywhere

A great museum! Tickets are not expensive! There are not very many trains (compared to the museum in St. Petersburg), but here you can see the driver's cabins from the inside (in St. Petersburg, even the windows are painted over since all the cabins are broken), plus there are trains in the section with information about the principles of engine operation!! Adults and children really liked it!

It was very interesting for the male half there.
There is a sign with a brief description next to each exhibit.
On the way back, we went to a small pavilion, there is a miniature railway, small trains go in a circle. It is very interesting for children to watch this.
There is also a small cafe and a restroom.

The Museum of Railway Technology in Brest hosted the filming of episodes of the film "Vygotsky. Above the sun." It's an amazing place. And in general, everything was very cool, although the sun was mercilessly scorching and the workflow lasted from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m...

A great place for those who love technology and are passionate about the railway, there are a lot of old trains and more modern ones, mainly Soviet samples made by different factories of the Union countries are presented. You can enthusiastically follow the technical progress from steam locomotives to more modern trains. And for children who are passionate about transport and technology, going to this museum will be a real adventure and discovery, the trains are huge even for an adult, you can climb on them, and some go inside the driver's cab and imagine yourself in his role. On the territory there is a small museum building with the history of the most famous railways and old paraphernalia of conductors, cashiers and other railway workers.
In general, I highly recommend it, I have always wanted to visit this place and have vivid and pleasant memories.

A very interesting museum. There is a wide selection from wagons from the beginning of the last century to modern diesel locomotives. Detailed technical descriptions of each type of locomotive are given. The only drawback is that not all wagons/locomotives can be accessed inside. An interesting pastime if you are interested in railway transport! Please note that the entire museum is open-air! It is definitely recommended to visit.
