museum review of

Bulawayo Railway Museum – National Railways of Zimbabwe (Bulawayo)

Location: Bulawayo, Zimbabwe
Rating:🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂☆☆

Small but very well maintained, the Bulawayo Railway Museum sits in a pretty garden with an unmistakable air of old colonial grandeur. Highlights include Cecil Rhodes’ personal train coach and a line-up of handsome locomotives. Don’t expect a critical, post-colonial take on how railways shaped Zimbabwe; do expect a lovingly kept collection that speaks straight to train lovers. Eight locomotives.
I visited this museum (most recently) in February, 2013.
