The monastery has now been converted into a museum. Numerous exhibits of the Incas are exhibited. The culture of the Incas such as annual planners etc are explained very well here. You can also find art by current local artists or school classes here.

The first prior of the Santo Domingo Convent was Brother Juan de Olías. He occupied it with a group of Dominican missionaries from Mexico. The monastery collapsed completely during the severe damage caused by the Cusco earthquake on May 12, 1650.
