Museo Machu Picchu Casa Concha

Very much worth a visit if you are interested in the findings of and in Machu Picchu. We visited right when it opened and it was quiet and lovely. Be aware that unfortunately its closed on weekends.

Very nice museum on the recent history of Machu Pichu after the 1912 scientific expedition. Many artifacts and a very well made diorama.

Small museum and collection, but its THE Machu Picchu collection returned to Peru from Yale in 2011 and some additional materials. Very low volume of visitors so no waiting to see anything. I would highly recommend visiting to give some context to your visit to Machu Picchu. The building is an interesting historical building as well with original features, built over a previous Inca building. Negatives: entrance is cash only, no running water in the bathroom. Bring your own tp too.

The museum tells the story of the discovery of Matcha Pucha and contains exhibits that reveal the life of the Incas. There are films that are broadcast in Spanish and English, showing Matcha Pucha, the structure of the city, parts of it, talking about everyday life, about exhibits found in the village and the latest research. Two floors, on the second floor there is a small art gallery, I liked it, local artists. Entrance is 20 soles for a foreigner. It is easy to find the museum.

A lovely museum that was quiet and in a nice location just outside of the main square. Went here a few days before Machu Picchu to better understand the background etc. it gave a good insight and was only 20 soles. Kept me busy for about an hour, each room had a different aspect of the Incan time. Good place to visit.

A must see for tourists and it’s affordable for what you get to see. A plethora of Incan artefacts housed within old Spanish architecture.

Small museum but honestly really worth checking out, especially if you have been to or are going to Machu Picchu as it provides a lot of history and context to the site. It was really quiet whilst I was there too which was nice, meaning you can wander around at your own pace and take it all in

Information about the opening hours is lacking. What is on their website and on Google doesn't get updated. Out of several weeks in Cusco we never found it open. It was closed for a week before the national day and after that not in the weekend and on Friday it was booked for a private event. Very difficult to visit. I understand you have holidays etc but please write online what is going on. I kept on coming to the museum hoping to find it open day after day.
