Opening 1826, the Museo Nacional Arqueología, Antropología e Historia Perú (MNAAH) offers a journey through Peruvian history. Its vast collection of ceramics, arrowheads, and jewelry date back thousands of years, and continues through special exhibits documenting the Spanish occupation that led to modern Peru. Within this all-encompassing museum are some of the world’s most important displays of traditional textile art and human skeletal remains—15,000, from 10,00 BC to AD 1500.
Travelers may explore the museum as part of an extended private tour of Lima’s top cultural spaces including the Larco Museum, which features the largest collection of pre-Columbian art in Peru.
