This museum is to be found in the former Delicias station, the oldest railway
station in Madrid. The station was opened by Don Alfonso XII and Dona
María Cristina in 1880, and is one of the nineteenth century’s most significant
examples of iron architecture. This monumental building has housed
the museum since 1984, and holds one of the most complete collections of
historic railway memorabilia in Europe.
