Asturias Railway Museum, Railway museum near Poniente Beach in Gijón, Spain.
The museum spans over 14,000 square meters across three buildings, including the original 1874 North Train Station and additional railway tracks for display purposes.
The institution opened on October 22, 1998, with Prince Felipe VI of Spain presiding over the ceremony as part of Gijón's municipal museum network.
