The museum contains excavated colonial remains beneath the historic house, revealing foundations, walls, and material deposits from early Lima's domestic and commercial life. These in situ archaeological features demonstrate the construction techniques and spatial organisation of the colonial period. The exposed subterranean structures provide tangible evidence of how inhabitants lived, worked, and organised their built environment. Display elements interpret these findings for contemporary visitors seeking understanding of Lima's formative urban centuries.

Photography policies at Ministry of Culture sites vary by institution and exhibition content. Visitors should observe posted regulations or enquire with staff upon entry. Flash photography potentially damages sensitive archaeological materials and may be prohibited. The subterranean setting presents lighting challenges for image capture, with low ambient levels creating atmospheric but technically demanding conditions. Tripods and professional equipment typically require advance permission. Respect for the archaeological integrity of the site and other visitors' experience should guide all photographic behaviour. Social media sharing should credit the institution appropriately. Base adult admission is PEN 5; concessions and special products follow the operator tariff.
