Archaeology, Anthropology, and History Museum

The National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology, and History of Peru (MNAAHP) was founded in 1826 and is Peru's oldest state museum. A wide range of perfectly preserved pre-Hispanic ceramics, textiles, metals, organic materials, and lithics are on display. Objects of historic and artistic value are on display. The documentary, photographic, and bibliographic collections depict Peru during the Colonial and Republican periods.

The museum is located in a historic colonial mansion. The historic architecture provides an ideal setting for everyone to discover, relive, and question the forefathers' life experiences. The museum invites national and international tourists, children and adults, researchers and academics, cultural and entrepreneurial institutions, and the general public to participate in and experiment with the museum's various activities and spaces.

The ceramic collection dates back to 2800 BC, and the carved obelisks include the granite Tello Obelisk and the famous Estela Raimondi. Parents should be aware that some ceramic figures may not be suitable for children. The adjacent home, once occupied by both Jose de San Martin and Simon Bolivar, is included in the museum.
