Thus, this text tries to be a genealogical site of the university museum in Peru, from a review of the tensions and foundational motivations of some cases of museums in relation to the ownership of their universities, and the transition to contemporary museum institutions. Therefore, in the institutional process within the foundation and development of the republic and with the idea of nation, institutional designs, behaviors and images are also imported or provided in the conception of a museum supervised by an institution of higher education, this it is, in other words, a university museum.

Keywords : University museum; collections; museum institutions.
