Museo de la Nación

The Museum of the Nation (Spanish: Museo de la Nación) was a public art and history museum in San Borja District, Lima, Peru. The museum was inaugurated in 1990 and functioned at a brutalist building originally built as a government complex. Its permanent exhibit was shut down in 2014 in favour of t

he National Museum of Peru, instead being used for temporary displays. The museum housed thousands of artifacts spanning the entirety of Peru's history, including a collection of Moche, Nazca, and Wari ceramics. The museum also houses reproductions of many famous ancient Andean artifacts, most notably the Lanzón from Chavín de Huantar; a recreation of the burial chamber of the Lord of Sipan; and the Revolt of the Objects Mural.
