cité du train印象
-
This huge museum displays a large collection of trains and engines. It is very interesting even if you are not a train fanatic. All the exhibits are very well presented and well maintained. A 1-2 hour visit is highly recommended, especially with children. However, 2 warnings - it is very cold in the main hall (take a coat) and the cafeteria on spot gives bad name for French cooking. I had a vegetable soup which wasn't warm and an apple cake which was probably prepared few months ago. Otherwise we had a great visit,

As other recent reviewers have noted part of the museum is closed due to roof damage. It was claimed that over half of the museum was still open but viewing the shuttered section from outside it seemed to me that it may have been the other way round, more than half was closed. At any rate the entry was only 5 euro and I did enjoy my visit. The section that is open does have a good overall selection of French railway equipment. There are some interesting videos to watch and I liked looking into the carriages that displayed the differences between bare bones 3rd class endurance to over the top luxury. There is a reasonably priced restaurant for meals and snacks. When we were there it was in the charge of one very overworked young lady trying to do everything except cook. I don't know if this the normal staffing level but she really could have used some help. She was literally running the entire time and I felt sorry for her. My only complaints, other than not being able to see the entire museum, was that my audio guide was troublesome and the very annoying blue lights used to highlight some of the displays. I suppose someone thought this contributed to the atmosphere but I think some other type of subdued lighting would have been better. The main reason I hated the blue lights was their effect on photos. The best way to get there from central Mulhouse is on the tram which has a stop about a quarter mile from the museum with frequent trains.

It was interesting. Lots of trains and train stuff. Not being big into trains I found it to be interesting. The audio guide is all of the map in the first part. It comes off and on, on its own and doesn't really flow. They have one segment about breastfeeding. Very odd. The other part the audio guide works fine, just a bit long winded. The other part is freezing cold. I wish I had known, I would have worn my winter coat, hat and gloves. You could see your breath.

My husband is a train buff and he was so absorbed with the collection that I think he forgot I was with him. Planning to go back next spring and do both museums again.

At the time of our visit, the roof was being repaired so we could only see a limited selection which in itself took us nearly half a day. We would like to return when it the repairs are complete and this time spend the day there. The menu de jour in the restaurant was excellent and good value.

Upon arriving we were given audio guides as all exhibits are in French, both English and German audio guides are available. In the first hall the audio guide automatically selects the track required at that point in the tour, syncing up with the correct point in any TV footage around, so sometimes you enter halfway through a track and I couldn't make it go back to the beginning. There are arrows along the floor throughout that guided you through the entire attraction, including through some of the trains or up alongside to look through the windows. The trains are spaced out and lit beautifully and in great condition - making my photographs a joy to take. The first hall has a series of different types of early trains whilst the second hall is designed to show the progression trains have taken from the 1800s on to the modern day land speed record. In the second hall, you have to enter in the audio tracks as you progress round, there is a minute or so track for each train however I found myself skipping several due to the sheer number of trains available. This was mainly as when I was visiting temperatures were around freezing, and the second hall is not heated at all (though there are heaters spotted around), so I didn't want to stop at every single train. It was very interesting to see the development of the train industry, each train seemed to represent some sort of change, including some train cross sections to show the intricate mechanics inside the engines. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised by the museum and whilst I found myself rushing towards the end due to the cold I found myself learning plenty about the industry.

Monsieur,nous vous remercions d'avoir pris le temps de rédiger un commentaire concernant votre visite.comme vous le précisez, effectivement, une partie du musée est fermée au public. néanmoins, les 2/3 du musée restent visitables.de plus, vous n'aurez pas manqué de remarquer que nous appliquons un tarif réduit afin de compenser cette gène parfaitement indépendante de notre volonté et dont nous sommes les premières victimes. ce tarif (5€) est réduit de plus de 50% du tarif habituel.nous restons toutefois étonnés de votre remarques précisant que la collection est impressionnante et qui semble contradictoire avec votre remarque concernant le fait que vous n'avez pas été impressionné.dans l'attente du plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau,

Very disappointed to find that one of the main exhibition halls was shut due to roof damage.The hall that is still open is in darkness - takes a while for eyes to become accustomed to this - then becomes very good and atmsospheric.My favourite bit was the human models in the carriages - the faces were so bad that they looked liked they'd been made out of papier-mache by the local Mulhouse infants school. Highly amusing!Great visit - just a shame that half the place was shut.Bonus of this is that allows time to do the excellent motor musuem in the same day - via excellent tram system.

Unexpectedly, it's not a dull museum for technicians with a pile of uncertain pieces of iron.It contains a lot of real locomotives and cars. They are preserved in a perfect condition, copper is shining, windows are clean. Moreover, you can touch nearly everything. And I was impressed by a fantastic manner of exhibition. One locomotive is cut to show the process of functioning, the other is laid on a side, you can see another one from below еtс. Good fantasy.And special thanks for manekins, they've been created very funny.After damage of the roof in September, everything's been fixed, the exhibitions are open completely. It deserves your visit. It was innteresting even for my wife (much more than automuseum near).

Otherwise known as the Cite du Train museum, it is a visit suitable whether one is interested in trains or not. Unfortunately during our visit some 50% was closed due to roof damage and was likely to be so for a further 3 -4 months (safety reasons we were told). The remaining open part comprised indoor and outdoor displays, many with audio-visual sights and sounds. A good 2 hours though is necessary to see what is currently available. A must visit venue if ever in Mulhouse.
