We wish to thank Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, for providing much of the information we have concerning the Museo Inka. The Museo Inka (Incan Museum), also known as the Archaeological Museum of Cusco, was once the palace of Admiral Francisco Aldrete Maldonado. The palace of Admiral Francisco Aldrete Maldonado was built on top of an Inca palace at the beginning of the 17th century. The Museo Inka contains many artifacts that trace the history of Peru from pre-Inca civilizations, the Inca culture to the times of the Conquest and into colonial times. The Museo Inka is considered the best museum in Cusco for those interested in the Incas. Since it is housed in the ornate, 16th Century Spanish style Admiral's House, the building itself is worth the visit. It sustained considerable damage in both the 1650 and 1950 earthquakes, but has since been repaired and is now one of the most impressive colonial houses in Cusco. On display are ceramics, textiles, metal and gold work, jewelry, and mummies. Of particular interest is it's collection of carved and painted wood queros. The Museo Inka is operated by the National University of San Antonio Abad in Cuzco. The National University of San Antonio Abad in Cuzco (Spanish: Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del Cusco) (UNSAAC) is a public university in Cusco, Peru and one of the oldest in the country. Its foundation was first proposed on March 1, 1692, at the urging and support of Pope Innocent XII. The document in which Pope Innocent XII sponsored the founding of the university was signed in Madrid, Spain by King Charles II on June 1, 1692, thus becoming Cusco's principal and oldest university. We will show a few of the Museo Inka artifacts on this page.
