Transportation Museum
I wandered around the town of Nurunberg because of the bad weather. There are several interesting museums in Nurunberg like "Germanisches Nationalmuseum(One of the largest museum of arts in the German-speaking countries)", "Spielzeugmuseum(Toy Museum)" and "Transportation Museum", etc and so it is a good town to kill time.
I decided to visit the Transportation Museum because I had been to the Japanese Railway Museum in Japan and this time I got interested in German railway system.
The Transportation Museum is now officially called the DB Museum because it belongs to the German Railway System(Deutsche Bahn).

Collection of full size trains. Another collection of full size trains are also displayed at the museum annex.

Special car for LudwigII. Ludwigii was king of Bavaria from 1864 until 1886 and he is known for building many castles like "Schloss Neuschwanstein". It said that the symbol of Disneyland "Cinderella Castle" was modeled on the "Schloss Neuschwanstein".

The cars were glittered in gold decorations and it looked so gorgeous. But I wasn't sure if it was a space of relaxation!

Diorama of a German town. To make it easier to understand the German history and the German railway development, railroad diorama were on display.
