"Machu Picchu Site Museum Machu Picchu is home to a number of artifacts from the Incan Empire. Archaeologists have studied these objects in their efforts to understand the significance of this mountaintop city to the larger Inca culture. The Manuel Chavez Ballón Site Museum uses a modern, dynamic exhibition to present a comprehensive body of information about the site. Worth a visit."

This is the museum of the Machu Picchu excavation. Its free if you have the MP entrance tickets, but only after 12pm! We were too early so had to pay 20 soles. Interesting enough museum showing how they found Machu Picchu and how the think it was made.

Cool museum providing details on the history and (whatever was involved in the) construction and discovery of Machu Picchu. There are various archaeological artefacts on display relating to such things as the afterlife, quarries, etc. Documentaries are shown on a TV somewhere halfway. The guy at the counter was very friendly.

Very informative. A must see before entering Machu Picchu so that you know the architecture, lifestyle and construction background etc. Clear English explanation. I read everything and it took me almost one hour? Highly recommend

Quick and interesting time at the site museum. Need to present your passport at the reception before you can start your self guided museum tour. Complimentary with Machu Picchu tickets. We were instructed to not take any photographs. This museum has cool information on Machu Picchu’s discovery and introduction to the world in the early 1900s as well as plentiful information on historical context during its peak in the times of the Inca civilization.

Nice museum to walk down to if you have time to kill in Aguas Calientes and want to learn a little about the Incan history. It's free with your Machu Picchu ticket. Right next to a little free botanical garden.
