The Stacja Muzeum is located at the former Warsaw Główna PKP railway terminus and is very close to the Warszawa Ochota railway 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, including one of the few remaining armoured railway trains in Europe. 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 Nowy Zjazd Street. The museum was reestablished at the present site, as Railway Museum in Warsaw (Muzeum Kolejnictwa w Warszawie), in 1972. On 30 July 2009, PKP S.A. the Polish state railway company served notice to quit on the Museum authorities requiring them to vacate their current location by 31 August 2009. However, as of May 2015, the museum remained in place and open to the public, offering low-cost entry and is perfect for large groups such as stag does. The museum was disestablished on 31 March 2016 and on 1 April a new institution, Stacja Muzeum, opened, taking over the exhibits and other assets.There were plans to move Stacja Muzeum to a new, purpose-built object at the Odolany railway depot but the idea was eventually dropped. Another plan was to build new premises for some of the exhibits at the current site as part of the redevelopment but this idea also came to nothing and, as of August 2021, Stacja Muzeum is still open at the old site.
