Audio Guide of the Grau House Museum

The Grau House Museum is open Tuesday to Sunday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and remains closed on Mondays. It is located at 377 Ayacucho Street, in Piura’s Historic Center; you can get there by taxi or on foot from the Main Square, and here is the Google Maps link to guide you.

Admission is free for all visitors, making it ideal for tight budgets. No advance booking is required; just show your ID if requested at the entrance.

It is recommended to allow between 45 minutes and 1 hour to explore it comfortably, admiring the rooms with Grau’s personal belongings. If you go with a guide, it may take a little longer.

It is the birthplace of Admiral Miguel Grau, naval hero of the War of the Pacific, where he was born in 1834 and whose legacy is preserved through furniture, photographs, and documents that tell the story of his life and patriotic heritage.

The best time is in the morning during the dry season (May to October) to avoid Piura’s heat and the rain. Weekends are popular, but arrive early for smaller crowds.

Access is limited due to stairs and narrow hallways typical of a colonial house, with no ramps or elevators. It is recommended to contact Piura City Hall in advance at (073) 304040 for alternative options.

Just a few minutes away on foot you will find the Main Square, Piura Cathedral, and the Vicús Municipal Museum. For more ideas, visit the Peru tourism portal.

Bring water and sunscreen because of the warm climate, wear comfortable shoes for the stairs, and respect the rule against touching the exhibits. Consider downloading an audio guide at IAudioguia to enrich the experience with historical details.
