Hi..there is no car park at the museum from what we remember. We got a taxi there. There was parking out front as that is where we picked a taxi up to get back into central Lima. There are security guards at the entrance to the Museum who were very helpful in gettimg us a cab. There is parking immediately outside of the museum where the taxi was parked but we do not know if you can leave a car there. Hope that helps. Lynne
