National Museum of Peru, State museum in Lurín, Peru
The National Museum of Peru spans 65,000 square meters, featuring underground exhibitions connected by a central skylit void measuring 25 meters on each side.
The museum project originated in 1822 during the Peruvian War of Independence, but construction began in 2014 under architect Alexia León Ángel's leadership.
The collection includes over 500,000 Pre-Columbian and Inca Empire artifacts dating from 5,000 BCE, representing different periods of Peruvian civilization.
The facility accommodates 15,000 daily visitors and includes research centers, conservation areas, educational spaces, an auditorium, restaurant, and technical laboratories.
The building integrates into the landscape through an Andean 'kancha' design, with 70% of its structure underground for seismic stability and temperature control.
