Museums and Institutes in Cusco

The city of Cusco is, itself, a great museum that holds amazing archaeological and artistic treasures. Its streets, protected by magnificent buildings in which stone and adobe are superposed, are proves of a glorious past.
The imposing ruins, which make Cusco the "Archaeological Capital of America", as well as the impressive colonial buildings, have overcome the test of time, earthquakes and bloody rebellions.
