New images of Central Hall - a building that will unite the two halves of the National Railway Museum (NRM) in York, UK - have been released.

Museum bosses hope the new welcome space and gallery will help improve exhibits and attract more visitors from around the world, making the NRM the “world’s railway museum”.

Central Hall, part of the wider York Central development, will feature a gallery showcasing the latest innovations in rail technology, a cafe overlooking the new museum square, a shop, an event space and new visitor facilities.

It will also include a new ‘Wonderlab’, a space aimed at inspiring children to think like engineers using interactive exhibits and games.
