Museums Places Map
Museums in Lima:
San Francisco Convent and Catacombs Museum
My advice is to join the tour that includes the catacombs. I didn't and missed out on some great stories and details that would have made it even cooler.
Huaca Pucllana Site Museum
Larco Museum
Museum of the Nation
Check out the small café inside for a quick snack. I grabbed a sandwich and it was surprisingly tasty for a museum eatery. Plus, it gave me a nice break!
I suggest getting there right when it opens at 9 AM. The crowds can get pretty crazy later in the day, and you’ll have more time to really enjoy the exhibits without rushing.
Place of Memory, Tolerance and Social Inclusion (LUM)
Peruvian National Museum of Archaeology
I think you should take your time with the audio guides. They really add a ton of context to the artifacts, and you'll get the most out of your visit. Don't rush!
If you're planning to grab a snack, skip the cafe inside. It's kind of pricey and the options aren't great. There's a nice place just outside the museum with better food!
The Natural History Museum
Contemporary Art Museum
I suggest visiting on a Wednesday when they have free admission! It saved me some cash and the crowd was way smaller, making it easier to enjoy the art.
