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 comes to life 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. Fascinating are a pair of mummies from the Nazca region that are thought to be more than 2,500 years old; they were so well preserved that you can still see the grim expressions on their faces. Not all the exhibits are labeled in English, so you might want to hire a guide to negotiate your way around the museum's twin courtyards.
