The Museo de la Nacion is one of
the must-see Lima attractions and
the best museum to visit and
learn about Peruvian history,
including Caral, the oldest city in
the Americas (>5,000 BP).
There are plenty of Lima
attractions to keep tourists
occupied, but a trip to the biggest
and best museum in Peru is sure
to enhance any visitor’s overall
appreciation of the country. As the
premier Peru museum, the Museo
de la Nacion is a showcase for
many of the country’s finest
artifacts and relics. The building
itself is an imposing block of
concrete, but the interior is
spacious and well planned. The
four floors of the museum cover
Peruvian history from prehistoric
times through to the pre-
Columbian era, the arrival of the
Spanish and Peru’s more modern
history. The various rooms are
rearranged at times, but the basic
layout remains the same.
There are plenty of fascinating
things to see in the museum.
Ceramics, textiles and metal work
from various cultures such as the
Chimu, Huari, Moche and Inca
civilizations.
• A superb selection of Inca
weapons and tools found at
various digs throughout the nation.
• Detailed scale models of pre-
Columbian sites such as Machu
Picchu and the tomb of the Senor
de Sipan in northern Peru.
• Paintings and artifacts from
the Spanish colonial period, the
struggle for independence and the
War of the Pacific
• Traditional costumes from
different parts of the country
(including models highlighting
Peru’s numerous festivals).
• Timelines mapping out the
entire progression of the nation.
Most of the exhibits are
accompanied by descriptions
given in both Spanish and English.
Museum guides are also on hand
to lead visitors around the
museum if needed. They can
provide a wealth of additional
information, again in Spanish or
English.
The top floor of the museum is
dedicated to Peru’s politically
turbulent and bloody recent
history. The effect is dramatic; the
floor is akin to an art installation
whose large photos serve as a
brutal testament to a country’s
suffering. The images, many of
which were taken by photo
journalists, depict the chaos and
tragedy unleashed upon Peru
during the height of the Shining
Path (Sendero Luminoso)
guerrillas.
