Museo de Arte Precolombino Cusco

The museum displays 450 artifacts from pre-Columbian Peru, including ceramics, metalwork, and textiles, spanning from 1250 BC to 1532 AD.

The building served as an Inca ceremonial courthouse before Spanish conquistador Alonso Díaz transformed it into a Colonial mansion during the 16th century.

The collection presents artworks from Formative, Nasca, Mochica, Huari, Chancay, Chimu, and Inca civilizations through ten dedicated exhibition galleries.

The museum includes an auditorium with 120 seats for events and lectures, located near Plaza de Armas in the historic center of Cusco.

The gold exhibition room demonstrates ancient Peruvian beliefs about connections between physical and spiritual realms through metalwork artifacts.
