Casa Museo Gran Almirante Grau, Naval history museum in central Piura, Peru.
Casa Museo Gran Almirante Grau is a residence in Piura containing seven exhibition halls and two interior courtyards filled with naval artifacts and household belongings from the 1800s. The rooms display furniture, weapons, and daily-use items that show how a prominent family lived in that period.
The house was the birthplace of Admiral Miguel Grau, who became a major military leader during the 1800s. His career and influence shaped the importance of this building in Piura's past.
The residence displays French porcelain and English tableware from the 1800s that reflect how the family lived and entertained. These items reveal the international tastes and social standing of the household during that era.
The museum sits in central Piura and is within walking distance if you are in the downtown area. The rooms span multiple levels, so allow enough time for a comfortable visit at your own pace.
One of the most notable items held here is a sword with direct ties to significant local events that shaped the region. Few visitors expect to encounter such an important piece of local history in person.
