The Museo de la Nación shows the entire Peruvian history. It features pre-Columbian ceramics, a unique presentation of pre-Christian cultures and a collection about art and theaters.

Some of the most important pieces found here are the famed stone statue of Lanzón de Chavín and the recreation of the burial chamber of the Lord of Sipán. There is the “Yuyanapaq,” an exhibition created by Peru’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission that commemorates the nearly 70,000 lives lost as a result of Peru’s two decades of internal conflict.  The museum has the largest collection of Peruvian art. There are painting by famous Peru artists and some videos explaining who they are. There are costumes used in plays and operas and at the Grand National Theater located next to the museum. The downside of this museum is that most of the exhibits are in Spanish with no English captions to help non-Spanish speakers.

The best way to travel to the museum is to use a taxi to the Nations museum on Javier Prado Este Avenue. The La Cultura Metro station and the Javier Prado Metropolitano station are also near the Javier Prado Este Avenue.
