Advantages: free entrance, fantastic collection of railway related memorabilia. Disadvantages: none that I could see.
The National Railway Museum (often shortened to NRM) in York has been open to the public since 1975, and now has become one of the largest and richest collections of railway related material in the world. It has won many awards including the European Museum of the Year Award in 2001.
NRM is located in Leeman Road, next to York railway station. There are three main areas open to visitors: Great Hall, Station Hall and Outdoor Play Area. Historically the Great Hall was York?s North Motive Power Depot (an engine shed) which originally had 4 locomotive turntables. Station Hall was the main goods (freight) transhipment station for York and the Works was the York Diesel Locomotive Depot until 1986. Today mainly in the Station Hall there are displays about the historical development of the railway industry and British locomotives. In ...
Advantages: A rare opportunity to see Bhutanese life Disadvantages: Unfortunately photography is forbidden inside the house
Many of the attractions we saw in Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan, didn't really excite or interest me as much as they perhaps should have done.

However one of the outstanding attractions which I really enjoyed was the National Folk Museum which I thought was probably the best museum we saw in the country. What I particularly ...
Advantages: Plenty to see, great for a rainy day! Disadvantages: Restaurant is not too good
--LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY--
The NationalMuseum of Wales is an impressive building situated in the heart of Cardiff's beautiful Edwardian civic centre, which also houses the old Cardiff City Hall, the Law Courts, Cathays Park and Cardiff University. It is only about 2 minutes walk from Cardiff Castle and about a 15 minute walk from Cardiff Central Bus/Train Station.
There are a number of multi storey car parks located in the vicinity of the Museum, although these can be quite expensive - you have been warned! Alternatively, the Council now has a voucher scheme running, whereby visitors can purchase parking vouchers from shops leading into the centre at a cost of £1.20 each, and you are then able to use designated spaces in the City Centre, providing anywhere from 1 to 8 hours parking (depending on how far you are prepared ...
