The museum was reestablished at the present site, as Railway Museum in Warsaw (), in 1972.

There were plans to move Stacja Muzeum to a new, purpose-built object at the Odolany railway depot but the idea was eventually dropped. Another plan was to build new premises for some of the exhibits at the current site as part of the redevelopment but this idea also came to nothing
and, , Stacja Muzeum is still open at the old site.
