Donating to the Museum
Here at the National Railway Museum we are very proud to be recognised as the world’s leading railway museum and the most visited museum outside London with over 800,000 visitors each year.
As a national charity, we rely on the support of people young and old to preserve and care for our collections now and for the generations to come.

Leave a legacy
One way of supporting our work is to leave a gift to the National Railway Museum in your Will. A legacy gift of any size really does make a huge difference to our work and the future of the Museum.

Donate an object
Our object-rich collections have been built up over the past 150 years. Some gaps still exist though, and you may have precisely the right object to fill them. So please do get in touch. (But please do not bring objects into the Museum without having made a prior appointment with the relevant curator.)
