Suggestions for History Museum near Lima

Boon K. • October 2, 2015Great 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.

Peter K. • June 17, 2017Beautiful artifacts and clear displays make this worth some time.

Eric A. • February 9, 2017Buen museo, ordenado y moderno. Pequeño, pero de visita obligatoria, sobre todo con la falta de museos en esta ciudad.

Jonathan W. • November 12, 2017Beautiful setting...I recommend checking this museum out at night (check hours before).

Zabby • September 5, 2013Nice mix of Peruvian banking history, archaeology and contemporary art. Free entrance, just have some ID to hand to be let in. Photos without flash are allowed.

Javier Y. • July 9, 2017Buen lugar para seguir conociendo de nuestro querido Perú

Zabby • September 28, 2013Nice collection but lacks contextual information. The best part may be the room of Sabogal's work on the indegenist movement.

Fernanda F. • January 19, 2015Nice pyramid but no one to guide. I'd like to have someone showing me the most especial details in this building.

Bogdan D. • January 2, 2015At the outskirts of the city of Lima you'll find another preinca adobe pyramids complex worthy of a visit; it's best to bring your rental car because you'll need to drive inside the site;

Zabby • September 22, 2013Probably the most interesting part is the display of minerals and metals, though if you don't read Spanish, it could be pretty dull. The rest is kinda boring: just lots of bad examples of taxidermy.

Milán G. • December 1, 2021Excelente, muy bien mantenido y lleno de historia.

Betsy S. • May 22, 2016Un paseo por parte de la historia y del arte...buena atención de los guías 👍

Jonathan S. • February 5, 2016Fascinating that the Peruvian government would operate a museum like this. They do a great job graphically showing a horrid part of human history but still a part that should not be forgotten.

Irina P. • September 27, 2013Well... I don't care about arm exhibition, but gold one is amazing!!!

Juan A. • August 15, 2011To learn about the naval history of Perú.
