Noord-Nederlands Trein & Tram Museum (Dutch pronunciation: [noːrt ˈneːdərˌlɑnts trɛin ɛn trɛm myˈzeːjɵm]; English: North Netherlands Train & Tram Museum) is a railway museum in Zuidbroek in the Netherlands. It is situated in the 19th-century building of the Zuidbroek railway station.[1][2]

In 2011, the Province of Groningen gave 100,000 euro of subsidy for the restoration of the station building and the exploitation of the museum.[1] The museum was opened on 10 October 2014 by State Secretary for Infrastructure and the Environment Wilma Mansveld.[2] It had 1,517 visitors in 2014[3] and 3,868 visitors in 2015.[4]

The museum is a member of the Museumhuis Groningen (Museum House Groningen),[5] which is an umbrella organization for museums and heritage institutions in the province of Groningen.[6]
