The Metropolitan Museum is housed in a building built in 1925 to host the first exhibition of the mining industry, and later it housed the headquarters of the Ministry of transport and communications. In 2005 it was decided to make this building in the list of historical monuments of Peru.

Upon entering the Museum visitors are greeted by a beautiful video about the National library. Ricardo Palma.

The Metropolitan Museum can be visited only with a guided tour. Groups of 20 to 30 people gather at the entrance. So be prepared to wait for several minutes until a sufficient number of people. The tour lasts about 1. 5 hours, but in the near future it is planned to extend to 3 hours, once all the "exhibits" will be posted and included in the tour. Unfortunately, now all the movies are dubbed in Spanish! Tours in English are in development.
