Great museum - one of the best we went to in whole of Peru. Taxi to here from Miraflores should be around S.15 to S.20. Ask the gift shop to call you an EasyTaxi back to your hotel for you.

The Travel Magazine

The museum showcases over 4,000 years of Peruvian history . The collection is both vast and varied, with cases and cases of ceramic figurines partaking in huge range of ritual and domestic activities. Read more

Definitely worth checking out the grounds of this beautiful museum and its well curated museum . Try to visit prior to any trips to Machu Picchu, Cuzco (and its nearby ruins).

The museum was a highlight of Lima. The erotic gallery here is a funny historic note. The restaurant here was a terrific place for s light bite. Try the chicken empanada .

Daniel Dumitrescu

Amazing museum ! Peruvian history , culture and archeology. Who said that Europe is the cradle of civilization? A must see!

Eszter

Amazing exhibition ! The building and garden are also beautiful, definitely worth visiting when in Lima.

Werther Veulemans

After visiting the museum , don’t leave yet, there is out of the main building a second part with erotic statues from the Inca’s , definitely a part you don’t want to miss!

Gabriel Seah

One of the few museums open on Mondays. And they close at 10pm too! The items here tend to be rather small though. The museum restaurant is great too.

Helen Zhang

My favorite part was actually the collection of 45k non-showcased items in the side room. Just crazy how many early Peruvian artifacts they have

Edward Roske

Don't miss the erotic gallery downstairs across the courtyard (no additional charge). It's definitely adults only.

Juliana Andrade

A must visit if you're in Lima! It has two amazing permanent exhibitions on the Inca culture.

Very interesting museum . Unbelievable collection of potery in depositories. Pretty interesting „erotic“ exposition . If wandering 'round Lima, give it a shot.
