Museo de Arte Religioso del Cusco

The religious art museum occupies the Archbishop's Palace, featuring stone archways surrounding a Renaissance courtyard with a central fountain and detailed cedar ceilings.

The museum opened in 1969 within the Archbishop's Palace, constructed on the foundations of Inca Roca's ancient residence incorporating the renowned twelve-angled stone.

The exhibition includes over 200 paintings from the Cusco School, religious furniture, and a substantial collection of gold-plated baroque altarpieces from colonial times.

Visitors can access the museum through the Religious Circuit Ticket, with operating hours from Monday to Saturday between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

The museum contains Diego Quispe Tito's Zodiac series, consisting of nine paintings that merge Catholic imagery with astronomical representations from the colonial period.
