Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway: STEAM - Museum of the Great Western Railway is housed in a beautifully restored Grade II railway building in the heart of the former Swindon railway works. The Museum tells the story of the men and women who built, operated and travelled on the Great Western Railway - God's Wonderful Railway - a railway network that, through the pioneering vision and genius of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, was regarded as the most advanced in the world.
STEAM is proud to have received many awards and commendations in recognition of the quality of service we provide to visitors.
Stepping into the museum, visitors are taken into the world of the railway worker at Swindon, passing through a series of reconstructions, carefully assembled using original equipment, supported by video and interactive displays.
The Shop at STEAM is full of interesting books, videos and other products - for people of all ages - relating to the GWR and railways in general.
