The Flåmsbana Museum is a railroad museum in the village of Flåm, Norway. The museum/documentation center opened in 1995. It was originally located in an annex of Fretheim Hotel, but was moved in 1999 to the old train station building at Flåm.

"The whole year around you can visit the Flam Railway documentation center and learn more about the Flam Railway, one of the steepest railways in the world and a marvel of engineering.

The Flam railway documentation center gives you insight into the construction of the Flam railway, one of the steepest railway journeys in the world, the technical development and the people responsible for the impressive undertaking.

The Flam railway documentation center has an authentic EL-9 locomotive on display, along with several draisines, and different exibitions featuring text, photographs, audio and items. In addition, you can experience a journey with Flamsbana through a videodisplay. In the end of the museum there is a souvenirshop with a large selection of Flamsbana souvenirs."
