Inka Museum
The Inka Museum puts artifacts and regional history within a short walk of Plaza de Armas. Its colonial house adds another layer to the visit.
Why go
Use the collections to orient yourself before seeing Inca masonry and terraces in the open. The building, often called the Admiral’s House, also lets you compare a colonial setting with the pre-Hispanic material inside without leaving the historic center. The surrounding rooms make this an unhurried visit.
What to look for
An archaeological collection fills the colonial Admiral's House.
Useful to know
Visit before Saqsaywaman or the Sacred Valley if you want a museum introduction to the sites.
