Museum of the Americas

The Museum of the Americas contains over 25,000 artifacts arranged in five sections covering knowledge, society, religion, reality, and communication of the Americas.

The museum officially opened on July 13, 1944, following its establishment by decree in 1941 and construction by architect Luis Moya Blanco until 1954.

The permanent collection features archaeological treasures from Central Andes and ancient Peru, including the Codex Tro-Cortesiano, one of four remaining Maya codices.

Located at Avenida Reyes Católicos 6, the museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 9:30 to 15:00, with extended hours until 19:00 on Thursdays.

The building architecture incorporates historical and neocolonial styles to represent Spain's influence across the American continents through different time periods.
