Excellent exhibition and super friendly staff
If you want to know about the history of railroads in what today is the country of Namibia - this is the place to see. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The exhibition is very well curated and many interesting photos are on display. There is also a bit of railway hardware on display outside. Definitely worth a visit. Closes at 1pm, BTW.

A piece of history
This is well worth an hour of your time, a very fine collection of object and images from a railway system which once linked the country, but today is underused. Windhoek station is a fine building, in very good condition, even if almost no passenger trains now run from here (let's hope that changes). The museum is run by a very friendly man, who will be pleased to see you.

charming museum
Nice insight in the history of the railroads in Namibia, station has a lovely architecture. Former types of railroads. Do not visit the area by yourselves (but visit in small groups), when nobody is around, one of our friends has been robbed when taking pictures
