Museo de la Nación

The Museo de la Nación (English: Museum of the Nation) is one of two major museums of Peruvian history in Lima, Peru.

The Museum of the Nation housed thousands of 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 Lanzón from Chavín de Huantar ; a recreation of the burial chamber of the Lord of Sipan; and the famous Revolt of the Objects Mural.

This exhibit was created by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to document the internal conflict in Peru that occurred from 1980 to 2000 involving the Shining Path.

The museum hosted the wake of former president Alberto Fujimori in September 2024.
