THE CENTRAL MUSEUM OF RUSSIAN RAILWAYS (The Central Museum of the Oktyabrskaya Railway) is intended to become a new cultural staple near Baltijsky Railway Station and will welcome up to 50 000 visitors a year. The museum collection comprises 115 items on display—trains, train cars, etc. The museum consists of a converted old depot and a similarly shaped new building. They are linked through passageways on the first and second levels and form a single complex where each part is devoted to a certain time in the history of the Russian railways. The museum visit begins and ends in the old depot, where, in addition to exhibition rooms, visitors will find a cafe, museum shop, auditorium, storage facilities, and administrative offices. In the new building, visitors get the general view of the exhibition from a hanging gallery and then go down to study it in detail. The new building consists of three parts, with a turning platform in the middle and two side wings. The side wing walls are placed at an angle of 5° to each other—the angle of a railway switch.
