You will discover in parallel written documents, plans or photos, many objects materializing technological advances. Your visit will be marked by a selection of posters retracing the dream of the distant journey that the train allows, the new offers offered until the awareness of the climate emergency. The places crossed during your visit will make you discover works of art offered by the members of the Union during the construction of the headquarters in 1963.

À propos du lieu

Union internationale des chemins de fer
16 rue Jean-Rey 75015 PARIS
  • Île-de-France
The International Union of Railways celebrated its centennial in 2022\. Its current headquarters, located at 16, rue Jean-Rey in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, was inaugurated in 1963 on the site of the former Champ-de-Mars station. On the occasion of the construction of this headquarters, most of the railway companies members of the association offered a contribution in kind, a work of art, a traditional object of the country, or a piece of equipment integrated into meeting rooms or visitor spaces. These objects or gifts, some of which have great artistic value, help to create the impression of global openness that each visitor feels.
