The Museo de la Nación (English: Museum of the Nation) is one of two major museums of
Peruvian National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology, and History
. Currently it is no longer being used as a museum, carrying only very sporadic exhibitions.
The Museum of the Nation housed thousands of artifacts spanning the entire span of human occupation in Peru, including an impressive collection of
Lord of Sipan; and the famous Revolt of the Objects Mural. However it is closed and being treated as the office of the Ministry of Culture
.
The only permanent exhibit that remains open is on the 6th floor of the museum which houses the photographic exhibit Yuyanapaq. Para Recordar. This exhibit was created by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to document the internal conflict in Peru that occurred from 1980 to 2000 involving the Shining Path.
The museum hosted the
wake of former president Alberto Fujimori in September 2024.[1]
