Museum sights in Tacna

1. Museo Ferroviario

   • Tacna, Peru
   • Sights › Museum

   The Museo Ferroviario is located inside the train station - just ring the bell at the southern gates - gives the impression of stepping back in time. You can wander amid beautiful though poorly maintained 20th-century steam engines and rolling stock, plus atmospheric salons filled with historic paraphernalia, including a curious collection of international postage stamps, all to the tune of the lonely tap-tapping of the station master's ancient typewriter.

   If the tiny Museo Histórico Regional is closed, ask someone in the library below to open it. The main exhibit deals with the War of the Pacific, and features paintings and maps. There’s also a small collection of art and archaeological pieces.

   The small, musty Museo de Zela provides a look at the interior of one of Tacna’s oldest colonial buildings, the Casa de Zela. It houses a motley collection of 19th-century paintings of stately folk.
