- Free Progress3 contributionsWe got to see the Chennai Rail Museum during our visit to the Integral Coach Factory, ICF. The models and exhibits at the Railway Museum were very educational and stimulating and the panels brought alive the history and the development of the Indian Railways and highlighted the role of the ICF in it.
Outside the museums were various creatively made sculptures built from railway scrap giving the place a unique ambience.
This is a great place to visit for schools and along with the museum if school students could be given a chance to visit premises of the factory in small groups and see how the various coaches are made with a guide, the trip would become really worthwhile, memorable and inspiring.Written 24 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Many are stuffed and preserved and therefore not quite trendy and modern. Also scope for better maintenance.Written 13 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Greg StevensSydney, Australia2,886 contributionsThe Fort Museum, located centrally in Chennai's George Fort, exemplifies outstanding architecture, bridging the gap between the city's rich history and present. As Fort St. George Museum, it underscores British colonial legacy. Built in 1644, the fort's remarkable architecture is rivaled by its captivating historical significance.Written 8 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
