"Machu Picchu Site Museum Machu Picchu is home to a number of artifacts from the Incan Empire. Archaeologists have studied these objects in their efforts to understand the significance of this mountaintop city to the larger Inca culture. The Manuel Chavez Ballón Site Museum uses a modern, dynamic exhibition to present a comprehensive body of information about the site. Worth a visit."

Quick and interesting time at the site museum. Need to present your passport at the reception before you can start your self guided museum tour. Complimentary with Machu Picchu tickets. We were instructed to not take any photographs. This museum has cool information on Machu Picchu’s discovery and introduction to the world in the early 1900s as well as plentiful information on historical context during its peak in the times of the Inca civilization.

Small museum revealing some interesting facts about the archaeological site. However, the exhibition is tiny and you should not even entertain the thought of paying 22 sol for entrance. Of course if you wait after 12 you can enter for free with your Machu Picchu ticket.

Well organized museum. It’s good to visit after visiting Machu Picchu. It takes around 1 hour to finish.

Interesting museum, bigger than I thought. Worth a visit as it's included with the MP ticket. Guy on the entrance must have been having a bad, he wasn't very friendly and told me several times, "no photographs".

Bigger exhibit than it looks. Many interesting pieces - some with explanation in both English and Spanish.

Great little Museum. If you didn't catch everything your guide tells you about the discovery of Machu Picchu it gives you a second chance. Best to take the bus to Machu Picchu and hike down the 3000 ft back to Agua Calientes, hang a left at one of the last roads(there is a sign). The Museum is free included in your price of admission to Machu. Also check out the Botanical Garden.

Worth the visit! Includes entry into the little botanical gardens, cute little walk. We went through the museum before going to the ruins and it was very informative and gave great background before we got to see the actual ruins. Didn’t know it was included with the Machu Picchu ticket! Should’ve read these reviews first. You do need your passport for entry 20 soles per person if you don’t have your MP ticket.
