About

Come and explore STEAM's new special exhibition 'GWR with Everything' and discover how the Great Western Railway branded anything and everything. From pen nibs, to bricks and from bars of soap to door handles, everything was branded with the company initials.

The exhibition displays an array of weird and wonderful objects that were printed, stamped and marked with GWR. There is a real treasure trove of material and objects on display, some of which are being displayed for the first time. There are some really quirky items on display, such as toilet paper and manhole covers.

Visitors will also get to test their skills with a 'Guess the Object' game. With almost a 100 objects on display this exhibition is a visual feast of everything GWR.

This exhibition complements STEAM's new 'The Art of Publicity' and 'The GWR Publicity Machine' displays.

Included with with admission and complimentary to STEAM Season Ticket​ holders.

We are delighted to have the modern 'Great Western Railway' on board as sponsor of this exhibition.
