Danish Railway Museum at Odense
A MUST VISIT place in Denmark. A tourist can reach this place from Copenhagen by train to Odense. This is a fantastically maintained museum with superb display of history of railways of Denmark. Various real models of trains and locomotives dating back to 1930s are on display. Full marks to the organizers of this neat and clean museum located just outside Odense railway station. STRONGLY recommend all tourists of Denmark to visit this museum.

Interesting History
My other half is really keen on all things to do with trains. I'm not so keen, so his suggestion of a visit to (another) railway museum was not something I was looking forward to. However, I was pleasantly surprised. There are some fascinating items here, and you get a really different perception of how the railway has developed in Denmark. It was quiet, so not everything was open, but it is well laid out with interesting displays. The shop was small and mainly aimed at the Danish visitor. It's a short walk from the modern railway station, and you can wander round at your own pace.
