Inca Museum
Ataud, Cusco, Peru
(51-84) 237-380
Housed in the former palace of Admiral Francisco Aldrete Maldonado, the Inca Museum (also known as the Archaeological Museum of Cusco) displays a fantastic collection that reveals Peruvian history through objects from pre-Inca times up to colonial times. In addition to jewelry, ceramics and textiles, there are Incan mummies and Spanish paintings of note. The house itself is one of the best preserved mansions in the city.
