The National Railway Museum is a museum in York forming part of the Science Museum Group. The museum tells the story of rail transport in Britain and its impact on society. It is the home of the national collection of historically significant railway vehicles such as Mallard, Stirling Single, Duchess of Hamilton and a Japanese bullet train. In addition, the National Railway Museum holds a diverse collection of other objects, from a household recipe book used in George Stephenson's house to a film showing a "never-stop railway" developed for the British Empire Exhibition. It has won many awards, including the European Museum of the Year Award in 2001. As of 2019, the museum is about to embark on a significant site development. As part of the York Central redevelopment, which will divert Leeman Road, the National Railway Museum will be building a new entrance to connect the two separate parts of the museum. At the same time, the space around the museum will be landscaped to provide public spaces. The National Railway Museum has over 6000 objects on display, of which around 100 are locomotives or rolling stock which tell the stories of Britain's railway innovation. The collection also includes fine jewellery worn by railway queens,[clarification needed] models of planes, boats and hovercraft, and experimental technologies such as Louis Brennan's Gyroscopic Mono-rail car. It is the largest museum of its type in Britain, attracting 782,000 visitors during the 2018/19 financial year (the largest in the world in terms of the floor area of exhibition buildings is Cité du Train in the French town of Mulhouse, although this attracts far fewer visitors than the National Railway Museum); York, UK 2022.
