Colli Museum, Archaeological museum in Comas district, Lima, Peru.

Museo de los Colli is an archaeological museum in the Comas district of Lima, Peru, opened in 2003 in the house of its founder, Enrique Niquín. It displays original huacos and reproductions, maps and scale models of the Fortaleza de Collique and its surroundings, and books on the Collique culture.

Enrique Niquín, a self-taught researcher from northern Peru, moved to Collique in 1965 and began exploring archaeological sites there, later extending his surveys across the Chillón valley, Ancón and Ventanilla. In the early 1980s he founded the Centro Cultural Colli Monumental to defend the area's heritage as urbanization advanced. He opened the Museo de los Colli in his own house on 15 January 2003.

The museum focuses on the Collique people, a group who lived in the Chillón valley before the Spanish arrived and made ceramics with their own distinct forms and patterns. Visitors can look closely at these objects and get a sense of how people in this area organized their daily lives.

The museum occupies the founder's own house in Comas, in the Collique area of northern Lima. Visits are informal and led by Enrique Niquín himself, who explains the objects and the sites they come from. Because it is a private home, it is best to arrange a visit in advance by phone or through the museum's contacts.

The museum is sometimes called "the most humble museum in the world", a phrase that spread after national media coverage in mid-2019. It occupies the founder's own house in Comas, and its displays include reproductions alongside original ceramics, plus maps and scale models of the Fortaleza de Collique.
