Since the Museum opened in the former Steam Locomotive Depot at York during 1975, the Museum has been extended on a number of occasions. In 1990, the Station Hall opened across Leeman Road in York’s former railway goods depot, nearly doubling the size of the museum in the process. This development won the Museum of the Year Award in 1990. The former diesel depot adjacent to the Great Hall was added as a store and in 1999 this was rebuilt to become The Works, providing public access to the Museum’s collections stores and workshops and a viewing gallery overlooking York Station. The success of The Works led, in part, to the Museum gaining the European Museum of the Year award in 2001.
