The best museums in Lima<\/h2>\n

There are over 50 museums<\/strong> in Lima, so choosing which one to visit can be tough. For us, the key is that it suits your interests and gives you a close-up look at the cultural aspect you want to explore.<\/p>\n

These are our favorites<\/strong>, but of course, follow your own instincts and venture out to discover more.<\/p>\n

Museo Larco: a journey to the pre-Columbian past<\/h2>\n

The Museo Larco<\/span><\/strong><\/a> is located in the Pueblo Libre neighborhood, north of Miraflores and close to the port of Callao. It\u2019s a colonial-era mansion<\/strong> from when Lima was the capital of the region. The stars of the place are without a doubt its beautiful gardens<\/strong>. But what truly makes it shine is its vast collection of artifacts from the Moche, Chav\u00edn, Nazca, Chim\u00fa, and Inca cultures.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 5,000 years of history<\/strong>. Sometimes we think we have to travel far to learn about ancient civilizations, but Peru offers amazing historical surprises.<\/p>\n

A collection of erotic art and beautiful gardens<\/h3>\n

One of the most popular sections is the room displaying erotic pottery<\/strong> from several Indigenous cultures. However, what many also come for are the gardens, a top-notch archive, and a well-curated exhibit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What else? A first-class restaurant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
