THE
RAILWAY MUSEUM
|
|||||||
| The
Museum was funded and created through the support of the Ente Sardo Industrie
Turistiche and inaugurated in 1996. Its main aim is to collect the documents,
tools and machines that were used in the long railway life. If the Museum had not been built, this important historic estate could have been definitely lost whereas it is preserved now. Its layout is on almost 1,000 square metres and is situated in Monserrato on the outskirts of Cagliari, easily reachable in 15 minutes by tram from the station in Piazza Repubblica, Cagliari. It can be visited on weekdays in the mornings (adults 2,50 euro, children and students 1,50 euro) following an easy guided route through the main railway work settings. The first setting is the 'Linea' (the railway) where are collected the original tools that were used for the building and the maintenance of the first railway lines. The second one is the 'Officina' (the workshop) where are shown old tools and equipment used to operate the old steam machines; old pictures, drawings of tools and machines are shown on the walls. |
