History

Established in 1975.

The collecting of Denmark's historical railway objects was begun by railway history buffs already before the year 1900. The collecting of rolling stock began in 13931, when the frst locomotive was turned over to the museum: the B 45steam engine from 1898. More locomotives were added before World War II, and the first collecting of carriages began in the same period. In 1965, the centenary of the opening of Funen's railways, the possibility of taking over a large roundhouse next to Odense Central Station came into play, and part of the roundhouse was taken over by the Danish Railway Museum in 1975. After a sweeping modernisation project, which included the present glass section facing Odense Central Station, the museum reopened in 1988. In the following years, the museum gradually took over the entire roundhouse and today comprises all the buildings on the grounds.
