Museu do Trem, located in Parnaíba, Piauí, Brazil, is dedicated to the history of rail transport in the region. Housed in a former train station, the museum features a variety of artifacts related to the railway’s role in local development. Entrance is free, and visitors can expect a guided tour lasting about one to two hours. While the museum offers historical insights, some reviews note a lack of maintenance and care for the collection.

The museum’s collection includes interesting railway artifacts, some of which are hands-on and allow for interactive learning, particularly appealing to children. However, concerns have been raised about the exhibition’s cleanliness and the condition of the displays. An external train display is well-preserved but not accessible for close inspection. Overall, while the museum has potential, it requires more support and investment to enhance its appeal to visitors.
