The National Museum of Ecuador (Spanish: Museo nacional del Ecuador, MuNa) is the national museum of Ecuador for archaeology and art. It leads the Network of Ecuadorian Museums governed by the Ministry of Culture and Heritage. The purpose of the museum is to preserve, exhibit and strengthen the cultural heritage and identity of Ecuador by supporting related research and educational activities.
The museum was originally established by the Central Bank of Ecuador in 1969 as the Museum of the Central Bank of Ecuador. In 2010, the cultural assets of the Central Bank were transferred to the Ministry of Culture and Heritage, and the museum adopted its current name.
The National Museum's collection contains over seventy thousand objects, about one percent of which is displayed in its permanent exhibitions in the House of Ecuadorian Culture in Quito, the capital of Ecuador.
