Where is NRM(National Rail Museum)?

National Railway Museum

This is a small museum of railway memorabilia, including the skull of an elephant killed when it collided with a mail train in Bengal, in 1894. But the principal glory of the National Railway Museum is the open-air display of old steam locomotives and rolling stock. Particularly interesting are the ‘special’ carriages belonging to British and Indian grandees, such as the Viceregal dining car, the Maharaja of Mysore's personal train, which comprised both sleeping and day compartments, and the Gaekwar of Baroda’s Saloon, with its ornate gold and enamel ceiling. Also on display is the last steam engine to see service on the Indian railways – as recently as 1995 – and the first electric-powered engine to do so – as long ago as the 1930s.

Dinosaur Isle is a purpose-built dinosaur museum located on the Isle of Wight in southern England.

The museum was designed by Isle of Wight architects Rainey Petrie Johns in the shape of a giant pterodactyl. It claims to be the first custom-built Dinosaur museum in Europe. The £2.3 million cost of the museum was provided by Isle of Wight Council and the National Lottery Millennium Commission. Dinosaur Isle opened to visitors on 20 August 2001.

The museum features numerous replica fossils and life-sized models of Iguanodon, Polacanthus, Eotyrannus and Neovenator - the latter is animatronic. In addition, guests are given the opportunity to speak to experts and watch them at work.
