Shop for goodies at the
Museum's souvenir kiosk, situated at the very entrance to the indoor galleries.
Housed in a shack gaily painted
on a cream background, the souvenir counter offers an exciting and interesting variety of
momentoes, books, audio visual media and interesting odds and ends.
The quality and variety of
gifts and novelties offered at the souvenir counter has undergone a lot of change in
recent years, and the merchandise on sale is much more attractive, offers more
variety, and is of a better quality as compared to not very long ago.
Although it is
beyond the scope of this website to keep track of the latest items on offer and the
current prices, the lists that follow will give you a very broad idea as to what to
expect.
For the latest product range
and prices, please consult the official NRM website.
PLEASE NOTE
THAT CREDIT CARDS ARE NOT ACCEPTED. Terms of payment is by cash only.

NOTE: It is possible to order books by Air Parcel Post if you are resident
abroad. I have done is several times. You will need to send a Demand Draft in Indian
Rupees payable in New Delhi, India. Demand Drafts to be drawn
in favor of "The Secretary, Railway Board, New Delhi".
HOWEVER, DO NOT RUSH TO SEND
IN YOUR DD FOR THE COST OF THE BOOK AS STATED ABOVE. You
will need to write to the NRM in advance, and ask for the current price of the book plus
postage. (which usually comes almost up to the cost of the book itself. ) Your DD
should then be for the value of the book plus postage. For address etc. ref. to the location and general info page.
