Museums and galleries in Cusco

Cusco’s museums span from the Qoricancha, once the Inca Empire's most vital sun temple, to the Inca Museum housing mummies and archaeological finds. Visitors can explore local traditions at the Museo de la Coca and learn about Peruvian spirits at Museo del Pisco. Art enthusiasts will find contemporary tapestries at Museo Maximo Laura and colonial-era religious works at the San Jeronimo and Hilario Mendivil museums. For a different perspective, the Cusco Planetarium offers insights into Inca astronomy and the southern sky.
