The Museum is located in the city of Cusco, Peru. Previously it was called the Archeology Museum. It works in the colonial house Casa del Almirante. The place was the house of Huáscar during the Inca Empire. It was built by Admiral Francisco Alderete Maldonado at the beginning of the 17th century.

The complex was built by the Incas in the 15th century, particularly under Sapa Inca Pachacuti and his successors. Dry stone walls constructed of huge stones were built on the site, with the workers carefully cutting the boulders to fit them together tightly without mortar.

The Moon Temple dates back to the Inca period (1428 AD – 1532 AD). It was built and carved into a large rock outcrop, both inside and out, with both areas holding great importance.

The significance of the 12 angles is not widely known, but it is believed to represent the division of 24 families of Cusco: 12 during the Hurin dynasty and 12 during the Hanan dynasty. The stone was originally part of the Inca palace called Palacio Inca Roca.
