Museums in Peru /

The Museum of the Nation (Museo de la Nacion) is one of two major museums of Peruvian history in Lima, Peru. The other, larger, and more famous museum in Lima is the Peruvian National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology, and History.

The Museum of the Nation houses thousands of authentic artifacts spanning the entire span of human occupation in Peru, including an impressive collection of Moche, Nazca, and Wari ceramics. The museum also houses reproductions of many famous ancient Andean artifacts, most notably the Lanzon, a recreation of the burial chamber of the Lord of Sipan (El Senor de Sipan), and the famous Revolt of the Objects Mural.
