"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

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.

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!

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.

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.

Museum was just perfect. Not too big or small. Great display of art from various Peruvian cultures. And we loved that it was open late. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves at 8 pm. The courtyard and building are also romantically lit after the sun sets and the cafe was great for dinner!

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.
