Museo Naval de Iquique, Naval museum in Iquique, Chile
The Museo Naval de Iquique occupies a colonial-style customs building from 1871, featuring maritime artifacts and naval history exhibits across multiple galleries.
The museum building served as both a customs house during Peruvian administration and later as a prison during the War of the Pacific in the 1800s.
The museum preserves artifacts recovered from the corvette Esmeralda, presenting critical elements of Chilean naval heritage through permanent exhibitions and historical collections.
Located at Esmeralda 250, the museum opens Tuesday through Saturday, offering free admission and guided tours in Spanish for visitors and school groups.
The museum's historical patio displays original cannons from both Chilean naval forces and the Peruvian ship Independencia from the Pacific War period.
