With over 45,000 archaeological artefacts, this important museum offers a unique opportunity to explore over 5,000 years of Peruvian history, and the highly developed cultures that flourished before the Inca Empire. Highlights include the most complete pre-Hispanic collection of gold and silver artefacts in Peru, and a famous archaeological collection of erotic art.

From here, walk to the renowned Santo Domingo Convent.
