Sobre
Fatos rápidos: O museu está instalado na antiga estação de Liverpool Road, a estação ferroviária de passageiros mais antiga do mundo ainda em pé. Sua galeria Spaceship permite que os visitantes rastejem por um modelo do módulo de comando da Apollo 11 e sintam os aposentos apertados que os astronautas suportaram.
Destaques: O museu contém a fachada real da estação de Liverpool Road exatamente como apareceu no dia da abertura em 1830, completa com as janelas originais da bilheteria. Fique na plataforma onde os primeiros passageiros embarcaram em trens puxados pela locomotiva Planet, a primeira máquina a vapor comercialmente bem-sucedida do mundo.
