Parque Reducto № 2 in Miraflores District, Lima, Peru. It is named after Marshal Andrés Avelino Cáceres, who participated at the park's defense during the War of the Pacific, then used as a redoubt.[1]
History
The museum was inaugurated on November 10, 1986, as part of the sesquicentennial celebrations of Andrés Avelino Cáceres's birth. As part of an agreement between the district's municipality and the Peruvian Army, a number of items were moved to the new museum's premises (from both the Peruvian and Chilean armies), as well as some personal items that once belonged to Cáceres.[2]
