"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."

My Suggested Peru Itineraries: From 1 Week to 1 Month

"I recommended the Pre-Columbian Art Museum in Cusco as a good spot to see archaeological artifacts and pre-Columbian artworks (about 500 items), and noted that many pieces are on loan from Museo Larco so it's a suitable alternative if you missed Larco in Lima." - Matthew Kepnes

Extremely impressive collection, displayed beautifully in rooms organised chronologically and by regions of Peru/materials used. Very reasonable entry price of 20 soles for foreigners and 10 soles for Peruvian nationals. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Cusco!

A good size museum with a lot of interesting history and artefacts. If you spend time here, reading the plentiful information boards, you will learn a lot about the Incan mythology and religion, along with learning about the pre-Incan civilizations, that were around for much longer than the Incas.

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.

Overall an educational visit, with a sufficiently in-depth overview of pre-colombian cultures and how their art fit into it. Translations are available in French and English, and they’re good.

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.

Definitely rec visiting this with the Larco Museum in Lima (doesn't matter which one first). Another way of appreciating Peruvian art/history and still lots of amazing collections. Rec audio guide! Also, if you can, visit the museum slightly later in the afternoon so maybe you can capture the moon over the court yard. Beautiful house of history, too!
