The Regional Historical Museum of Cusco (Spanish; Castilian: Museo Histórico Regional del Cuzco) is a museum located in the city of Cusco, in the Cusco Region of Peru.[1] [2] [3]

It is located in the house where the Cusco chronicler Inca Garcilaso de la Vega was born and lived. In 1946, it was converted into a museum.[4]

The collection consists of ceramics, paintings, metals, and textiles.[5] It has 13 rooms; on the first level, it is in the process of implementation, housing paleontological and archaeological objects from the pre-Hispanic period, while on the second level, assets from the viceregal, republican, and contemporary periods are exhibited.[6] On January 6, 2014, two rooms referring to the Prehistoric and Pre-Hispanic periods were inaugurated.[7]
