During the interwar period the museum's headquarters were located at Nowy Zjazd Street.

On 30 July 2009, PKP S.A. the Polish state railway company served notice to quit on the Museum authorities requiring them to vacate their current location by 31 August 2009.

The museum was disestablished on 31 March 2016[3] and on 1 April a new institution, Stacja Muzeum, opened, taking over the exhibits and other assets.
