The Museo Nacional de Arqueología Antropología e Historia del Perú is the largest and oldest museum in Peru, located on Plaza Bolívar in the Pueblo Libre district of Lima. The museum houses more than 100,000 artifacts spanning the entire history of human occupation in what is now Peru. Highlights include the Raimondi Stele and the Tello Obelisk from Chavín de Huantar, and an impressive scale model of the Incan citadel, Machu Picchu.
In 2021, the new National Museum of Archaeology is destined to open after artifacts from the museum. The National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology, and History is proposed to become a museum dedicated to the republican era of Peru.
