Inka Museum

A tad outdated but very much worth the visit for an hour of 2. There are quite interesting facts you are probably not able to find easily on the internet. There is also a stand where the Inca instruments are illustrated, pure magic!

A great little museum to find out the history of the area. It costs 20 sol / adult and free for under 12s.

It cost 20 Soles entrance fee you can only pay by cash and I did not like it I have been to many museums this one was just gray and boring considering the whole history and culture of the Incas. The first part had some English translation but later on there was not English it was mostly Spanish and it was hard to follow as it is written text and you don't want to take out Google translate every time to understand something also there's mostly Ceramics and some old tools from rocks a mummy part that was kind of not nice so if I had to choose I would not do it again.

Thorough museum about Inca timeline, tools, places. Some exhibits have English explanation but other don’t. Still worth the 20soles ticket. Was pretty quiet when we went at noon.

Today we visited the Inka Museum! It’s right off the plaza mayor decuzco (big plaza in Cusco with lots of shops and things). Outside of the travel itinerary from our travel company this was one of two museums we wanted to visit. I wanted to go and see an elongated skull in person and they have several. The museum is 20 soles to get in, the staff were very friendly and scope good enough English. Despite the reviews, most things had some English along with Spanish. It wasn’t everything but reception was great so google translate did the rest. It has an impressive amount of pre Inca pottery, arrow / axe heads, etc. Was not disappointed at all. They also had great miniatures of Machu Pichu and other important areas. If you find yourself with a few spare hours it’s great.

As we go, I can honestly say that this was my best museum experience of the trip. It’s definitely a dated space and you can tell they don’t have a lot of funding, but Claire and I thought that really added to the charm and it feels like you’re kind of walking through a 90s high school History presentation done by a star pupil and it’s pretty sweet. It was fun to walk through and take photographs, as well as learn about the artists representation of what saquasawawoman used to look like.

20 Soles entrance fee for international adults. Some interesting artefacts and content of Inka ans Pre-Inka civilalisation. 2nd floor definitely have some more interesting items. Not all exhibits have English text. There is also a traditional music demonstration which was quite neat.

The artifacts are indeed amazing but the museum itself is poorly maintained. Besides lacking some English translation, some itens didn't have any description such as period (even an approximate date would've been nice). Still, would recommend a visit as you may dig deeper on Inca and Pre-Inca civilisation.
