A. Tickets Train World & Expo Royals & Trains
|
|
From the construction of the first rail line in 1835 to the present day, the Belgian royal family has always had a special relationship with trains and shown unwavering support for expanding the railway network in Belgium and in Europe.
The temporary exhibition "Royals & Trains" lets you discover the rich railway heritage of the Belgian royal family through documents and period objects from our archives and those of the Royal Palace. Exceptionally, five royal coaches, most never shown in public, will be unveiled for the first time at Train World.
From 20 May to 3 July, the access to the mini-exhibition "Spirou by Emile Bravo. A childhood under the Occupation." is included in your entrance ticket.
