Fodor's Review:

The country's most extensive collection of pre-Columbian artifacts can be found at this sprawling museum. Beginning with 8,000-year-old stone tools, Peru's history is peeked at through the sleek granite obelisks of the Chavín culture, the intricate weavings of Paraca peoples, and the colorful ceramics of the Moche, Chimú, and Inca civilizations. A fascinating pair of mummies from the Nazca region are thought to be more than 2,500 years old; they are so well preserved that you can still see the grim expressions on their faces. Not all the exhibits are labeled in English, but you can hire a guide for S/15.

Cost: S/11
Open: Tues.-Sat. 9-5, Sun. 9-4
