A bit dark and cold, but a great collection of trains.

Fantastic trains museum. Lot of fun.

As a few people have mentioned, the main hall is glacial inside during the winter - keep your coat and gloves with you. They did put out portable heaters in there, which helped quite a bit when huddled next to. I brought my own lunch and so I didn't try the museum café.

Pretty nice walk back in history, scary impressive for a 3 years old at first, but after the small train on the second hall he enjoyed at max.
I will recommande to take around 3h to be able to view it all at peace.
Defenetly a place to see.

I had the opportunity to use the audioguide in both English and French, as I put down my English one when I was taking a rest and one of the stealthy museum gnomes whisked it away while I wasn't looking. The French version is slightly better - a bit more background is provided - but the English is perfectly good, if not already a bit lengthy in parts.

If at all interested by trains, it's unmissable.

Absolutely wonderful train museum, and the fantastic Musée national de l’automobile is nearby - just follow the train tracks NE and pass the Gare du Nord (North Station). Mulhouse is a great town to visit with a distinctly colorful historic district.

An amazing collection of trains. Plan enough time to see it all.

Very good museum! I was there twice and I want to come back. Museum with intrestin facts, exposition and funny things.

This enormous museum is a train enthusiast's dream. Having been absolutely fascinated by trains when I was a kid, I spent hours in the huge complex absorbing as much information as possible. The two main halls are a little different - one being grouped mainly by theme, whereas the other is chronological. Both were great, but I think I preferred the chronological hall, which goes all the way from the first steam engines up until the ultra-modern, world-record holding TGV. Hearing all about these certainly made me appreciate my ride home (on the TGV Lyria) a lot more!

Nice trains from all over the world, between the steam and the electricity, very interesting.

Very impressive collection of trains - from 1840 (!) to modern ones

Comprehensive coverage of the development of French trains. Good, free, audio guides. It took us about 3 hours to complete all the exhibits.

If you like trains - there are lots of nice things to see there. Trains dating back to year 18xx till new TGV models.

All in all, it was a great visit. I'm sure it would be less interesting for non-enthusiasts, but I loved it.
