Train World is the official museum of the Belgian railways: a space of discovery with a poetic scenography by François Schuiten, it is also housed in the exceptional setting of the former Schaerbeek station (1887 and 1913).
Among the exceptional trains on display are steam locomotives, passenger cars from various periods inside which the visitor can walk and sit, a postal car, as well as two royal cars and a driving simulator. A 1950s gatekeeper's house is also located inside the museum!
Remarks :
- Possibility of taking pictures / filming during visiting hours (privatization of a vehicle at the same time maximum). Private shoots: only on Mondays or after 5pm (security re-invoiced).
- It is impossible to remove the scenographic elements (albeit in exceptional cases, with the agreement of Facility and Heritage Departments). However, it is possible to mute the sound/video during a privatization. At other times, this is strongly discouraged or even impossible because of the negative impact on the visitor experience.
- Parking is available behind the restaurant and in front of the shop.
- Train World asbl and SNCB reserve the right to refuse filming.
