"A sister institution to the Larco Museum in Lima, MAP is one of the best museums in Cuzco . The museum usesobjects of Peru’s many pre-Columbian civilizations toexplain their differing cultures. Exhibits—representing cultures from as early as 1250 B.C.E.up until 1532 C.E., when Spanish conquistadors arrived—includeartifacts produced in ceramic, wood, stone, silver, and gold. Some pieces are utilitarian, others purely ceremonial or decorative, but all help you picture what life might have been like in the time of the artisans who created them."
Excellent museum and art gallery. They have a wide assortment of artifacts from pre-colonial era Peru. Fascinating stuff! 20 soles per person for foreign visitors.

Beautiful museum that tells the story of pre-columbian art a really useful audio guide well done.
A great compliment to the Larco in Lima.

The museum is open until 22:00, there are not many people, so you do not need to buy in advance. It is located high up from the central square, so you need to take this into account. The museum exhibits tell about the history and artifacts of pre-Inca civilization. Time for the museum is 1 hour.

We enjoyed a private tour as a part of an MIT Alumni Travel Program followed by a delicious dinner at the attached restaurant.

Truly amazing museum in the city of Cusco. It is mostly about artifacts, not really art pieces. But you also get to learn about pre-Colombian histories and art pieces from each period / civilization.

Wonderful museum. The artifact galleries are well planned and exemplary in presentations with descriptions in English, French and Espanõl. $40.00 Soles per person (about $12.00 US, it is well worth the price and time.

This museum is well organized with professional presentations. English accompanies nearly every exhibit. I give 4 stars because there was often a lack of context or detail about the objects. For example, the Inka Museum will show historic sketches of jewelry belong worn so you can understand more about how it fit into life. Not a big museum but it’s a nice one if you have an extra hour.

Very well organized and maintained. We did not have to wait to buy tickets and stayed until 9:30pm. The night view from the inner patio is great. Nice one to check out when it’s raining or as a late night plan. Very affordable and worth every sol. They accept cards too!
