The Underground Railway Museum, opened in 1975, commemorates the first underground railway of the European continent. The line was inaugurated on the 2nd May 1896. In 1996, for its centenary the whole underground section of the line and the museum, as well were refurbished.

With the establishment of the Museum, the primary aim of the founders was to display the history of the Millennium Underground Railway and the Budapest metros in an authentic environment. A real technical monument, an original tunnel section of the Millennium Underground Railway, which was taken out of service at the construction of the east-west metro line in 1955 offered an obvious possibility to house the museum. So, not only the carriages, models, documents, photos on display but even the walls create a unique historic atmosphere in the heart of Budapest.

We await our visitors with permanent and temporary exhibitions, educational tours for schools, play corner for the little ones and with the museum's gift shop.
