V!VA User‘s Description

The largest museum in Peru, the National Museum features four floors of history and exhibits in a large, sprawling building in the San Borja neighborhood of Lima.  Of particular interest are the sections on pre-Spanish life in the area and the reproductions of Peru's major archaeological sites.  The galleries often feature temporary exhibits as well.  The museum provides a fairly complete overview of Peruvian history and culture.
