To be honest this is probably one, If not, the best museum of Peru. I was amazed from I got into this museum to the last moment in it. It shows in summary peruvian history, I went with some friends..... more »

This place is closed for the next couple of years. There is a small, maybe 8-room, museum attached which is currently open but not really worth the trip. more »

CLOSED for 4 to 5 MONTHS for repairs due to termite damage! We used the museum website to plan our trip and when we arrived we found out they are closed. The museum website should be updated with big bold red lettering on every page saying they are closed, especially on the page with the open hours. Right now the website only says they are closed in the news section and on one photo on the home page in normal white font, and that photo changes every few seconds to other photos not saying they are closed.
