The Museum of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru or Central Museum (MUCEN) is a museum of archaeology, numismatics, painting and history located in the historic district of Lima, capital of Peru.
The building currently occupied by the museum was originally built to be the headquarters of the Reserve Bank of Peru, created on March 9, 1922. Its construction by Fred T. Ley et Cie, a North American company responsible for the construction of several buildings in the capital, was completed in 1929.
The museum was inaugurated on February 2, 1982 by the historian Carlos Rodríguez Saavedra (1918-2020) and reopened in 2017, under the direction of Ulla Holmquist (es) former Minister of Culture, and director of the Larco Museum.
Entrance to the museum is free.
