Museo de la Electricidad, Science museum in Barranco, Peru.
Museo de la Electricidad is a science museum in the Barranco district that focuses on the history and technology of electrical power. Its exhibition halls display historical electrical equipment, power generation installations, and interactive displays that explain how electricity works.
The museum was founded in 1994 and documents how power generation and distribution developed during Peru's industrial modernization. The building itself reflects the milestones Peru reached in building a reliable electrical system.
