Danmarks Jernbanemuseum (Railway Museum)

Frommer's Review

This is one of the best transportation museums in Scandinavia, appropriately located adjacent to the Odense train station. It's a very active museum and not some dull depot of long-abandoned locomotives, although there are those here too, the best of which is a royal carriage that once carried his majesty King Christian IX.

From the first train in Denmark, dating from 1847, until more modern times, the history of locomotives and carriages is on display, even a "B-Machine," a moving vehicle from 1869. A replica of a 19th-century train depot is on view along with two dozen engines and various saloon cars. Model ferries, buses, model railway tracks, and even Wagons-Lits restaurant cars and ferries are on view. The entire family can go on the minitrains and take a simulated ride in a large diesel locomotive.
