The Warsaw Railway Museum (Muzeum Kolejnictwa w Warszawie) is located in the former Varsovian PKP railway terminus, Warszawa Główna — not to be mistaken with the Śródmieście terminus — and is a mere stone's throw away from the Warszawa Ochota train station. The museum's exhibits are divided into permanent and temporary collections — the latter being displayed inside the museum's galleries. The permanent collection consists of historic rolling stock that is displayed on the tracks outside. The museum also contains a library which houses many books on the subject of Polish railways.

During the interwar period the museum's headquarters were located at 1 Nowy Zjazd Street (ul. Nowy Zjazd 1).
