Museu Vale
A museum in a former railway station on the Vila Velha riverfront. It shows railway artifacts and contemporary art for free, and the riverbank offers views over Vitória Bay.
Museu Vale occupies Pedro Nolasco Station, the former station of the Vitória–Minas Railway, completed in 1927. Funded and run by the mining company Vale, it displays old steam locomotives, carriages and railway models. It also hosts contemporary art exhibitions from Brazil and abroad, along with educational programs. The riverbank lawn in front of the museum offers views of Vitória's old town and port, and families come to picnic on weekends. Admission is free. The museum is closed on Mondays. It is about 10 minutes by taxi from central Vitória across the Second Bridge.
