The Samuel Humberto Lozano Espinoza Archaeological Museum is a historical-archaeological
site, located within the district of Huaytará, in the department of Huancavelica. That museum
was created, approximately at the beginning of the 50s, from a private collection that Samuel
Humberto Espino Lozano obtained during his research on the site. The reason that this Museum
bears the name of the donor of the largest collection of the same, is not given only by this
attribute, but also by the great work that Espinoza Lozano performed in the territory of
Huancavelica and Huaytará, to unravel the mysteries and the story, that his land kept buried,
for a prolonged number of years.

The Samuel Humberto Espinoza Lozano Archaeological Museum presents its current
headquarters, in a three-story building, conditioned to house the valuable material it presents.
This museum is under the administration and supervision of the Ministry of Culture and among
the pieces it houses, it is recognized: a large amount of ceramic remains, as well as metals,
organic pieces, textiles, plumarios, among other objects that are testimony to the ancient
