The Museum of Religious Art of the Archbishop's Palace in Cusco is home to the most comprehensive collection of viceregal religious art from the Cusco School, a style that flourished primarily in the 17th and 18th centuries. This collection provides a unique insight into the fusion of indigenous and Spanish artistic traditions during the colonial period.

Location and Architectural Significance

The Museum of Religious Art is situated in the Archbishop's Palace, the headquarters of the Archdiocese of Cusco, located in the heart of the Inca capital. A notable feature of the museum's exterior is the famous Twelve Angle Stone, a symbol of Inca architecture in the city of Cusco.

Thematic Rooms

The Museum of Religious Art currently features eight thematic rooms: the Golden Hall, Orchard Room, Liberator Room, Origins Room, Corpus Christi Room, Chapel, Sacristy, and Zodiac Room. Each room offers a unique perspective on the religious and artistic history of the region.
