The Please Touch Museum is ready to debut a brand new train-inspired exhibit space called “Railway Play,” transporting young visitors to the 1876 World’s Fair via the Pennsylvania Railroad.

The museum is hosting a Grand Opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow, March 27, at 2 p.m., after which the fun exhibit will be open to the public.

Railway Play is the first new permanent exhibit at the Please Touch Museum since its move to to Memorial Hall. The new space spans the entire west side of the museum’s Centennial Exploration gallery, which celebrates the history of the 1876 World’s Fair held in Philadelphia.

Now the young (and young at heart) can indulge their love of and fascination with trains at one of the city’s most loved museums.
