Basic information
The Technical Museum in Olomouc introduces visitors to treasures that were rolling on rails in the last century. You can see steam engines as well as more recent machines. Altogether the exposition presents 9 railway vehicle s – steam, Diesel and electric ones. Most cars are functioning and carry passengers during nostalgia rides. One of the most valuable exhibits on display is the Rosnička locomotive or a steam locomotive built for the Emperor Ferdinand North Railway Company in 1898. It is this history of the erstwhile North Railway Company and its fate during the twentieth century on which the new museum should focus. Gradually it should be extended by a further 11 cars.
