Huancayo - Museo Salesiano

The Museo Salesiano de Historia Natural y Arqueología Padre Vicente Rasetto, usually just referred to as Museo Salesiano, was completely renovated and expanded in 2004. The upgrades are evident in this now well organized museum. As the name suggests, the museum focuses on the natural and cultural history of Peru.

On the natural history side are a huge number of displays of all kinds of insects, spiders, birds, and fossils from the Amazon and other parts of Peru. There are also dioramas depicting the flora and fauna. The archeological section displays pottery and other artifacts.
