History

The Museum of Electricity was inaugurated on August 9, 1994, at the initiative of the former Electrolime Company. Formerly it was a collection agency, which was set up to house the rooms and objects on display that are part of the museum's collection.
In September 1997, the Wagon of remembrance was inaugurated after an arduous process of restoration and remodeling of the electric tram.
A year later in 1998, he was transferred to the company ELECTROPERU S.A until now, continuing with his educational work and disseminating science, technology and industrial heritage through the museum.
