Millennium Underground Museum

In the pedestrian subway/underpass below V Deák Ferenc tér, with its entrance within the main ticket office, this small but fascinating museum traces the development of the capital’s underground lines. Much emphasis is on the little yellow metro (M1), continental Europe’s first underground railway, which opened for the millenary celebrations in 1896. The museum is atmospherically housed in a stretch of tunnel and station. It features wonderfully restored antique carriages used as recently as 1973 and a wonderful exhibit of items lost and found.
