Nora Railway Museum and Heritage Railway is presented as a living railway museum, with rides by steam locomotive and railbus. Its operator, Nora Railway Museum Foundation (NJOV), owns, manages and develops the buildings, land and railway tracks on the Ervalla–Nora–Gyttorp line. The foundation also owns, manages and develops the Pershyttan cultural reserve. Its website describes Pershyttan as one of Sweden’s best-preserved mining villages, placing the railway and the settlement within the same heritage offer.

The named parts of the offer are the museum, rides on the railway and the Pershyttan reserve. NJOV’s website lists activities and adventures for children, and asks for support to preserve cultural values. The foundation’s remit includes the railway buildings and land as well as the tracks, so its work extends beyond running train rides. Wikidata dates the museum’s founding or opening to 1981. For visitors, the railway ride is the clearest activity described: NJOV names steam locomotives and railbuses as ways to travel. The website presents Pershyttan as another part of the cultural heritage NJOV manages.
