Museums of Lima: Larco Herrera and Archaeological Museums |
|
|
See Nazca mummies, Paracas weavings and some of the finest ceramic pots on this museum tour in Peru
| Overview | |
|
Visit two of the finest museums in Peru, the Larco Herrera Museum and the Archaeological and Anthropological Museum on this tour in the city of Lima. 45,000 ceramic pots, a fine Paracas weaving containing 398 threads to a linear inch (!) and erotic pottery are only some of the fascinating relics at the Larco Herrera Museum in Peru. With the world’s largest private collection of pre-Columbian art, this museum is also the ideal place to learn more about Peru’s art and culture. The small but well-laid out Archaeology and Anthropology Museum has some of the finest relics of ancient civilizations. Walk around the museum and see stone pieces like the Estella Raymondi and Tello Obelisk (from the Chavin culture), jewellery and metalwork. For history buffs, this is a must-see tour!
