THE MUSEUM The National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology and History of Peru is the oldest state museum in our country and constitutes the administrative center of the National System of State Museums. Its importance is rooted in the vast, varied cultural patrimony housed in its exhibition rooms and storerooms. Ceramics, textiles, metals, organic materials and lithics related to invaluable human remains preserved with techniques that still surprise specialists, make up the legacy of our prehispanic past. Objects of historic-artistic value and documentary, photographic and bibliographic collections given to the library tell of the Colonial and   Republican Periods. All of them make this space a meeting place with the history of Peru. Its historical architecture is established in the ideal place where everyone, no matter their age or where they are from, can discover, relive and question the life experiences of our ancestors. We invite national tourists and foreigners, children and adults, researchers and academic, cultural and entrepreneurial institutions and the general public to delight in and experiment with the different activities we develop and make use of the spaces the museum offers.
