MUSEUMS IN LIMA
Lima museums and art galleries are peppered throughout the city and exhibit collections from an array of historical and contemporary periods that are encompassed in a range of about 4,000 years. Visiting one of these national treasures is one of the most enriching things to do in Lima. There's no need to take a linear approach while discovering Lima's artistic side as each era is intrinsically captivating. If you only have time to fit in one museum, make it the Larco Museum and call it a day. This impressive private collection features stunning pre-Colombian pieces, a visitor-friendly storage area that houses over 40,000 relics, a one-of-a-kind erotic gallery, and an amazing cafe situated amidst the loveliest outdoor garden. Suppose convenience is the name of the game, and you want to see what's going on in the art scene of today's Lima. In that case, there's a little street in the Barranco district, Saenz Peña, that boasts a few of the galleries listed below (Lucía de la Puente, Wu, Dedalo Lima), and they are all within walking distance of great restaurants. |
