This enormous state building exemplifies the architecture of the military government of the 70s. It was re-opened as a museum in 1990, and today has four floors of exhibitions. There are replicas of pre-colonial life, along with ceramics from various cultures and reproductions of the country's main archaeological sites. Throughout the museum, visitors can follow a series of educational illustrations, models and collections representing different aspects of the development of ancient Peru. In addition to the permanent exhibition, the galleries also house temporary exhibits. Parking is available.Open Hours
Tu to Su from 09:00 AM to 06:00 PM
The exhibition about the 20 years of terrorism is excellent. As a forgeiner, it really helps understand what these people went through. Very detailed.you need to be there for at least a couple of hours.
Yes the museum holds a lot of interesting material, but the exhibits lack proper identification and explanation. This is used to force tourists to pay for a guide, which I think is cheap.
The Museo de la Naci
It was very great find in Lima a Museum like Mueseo de la Nacion. There I found many pieces from antiques cultures which development in Peru many year ago. Now I can understand the Incas Empire...
This museum is outstanding. I suggest using a guide( a tip is the only cost) then wandering around on your own. The pottery collection is worth the price of admission. Its a great place to visit before exploring the country.
