Larco Museum

Art Museum · Best for history enthusiasts & art lovers

The Museo Larco in Lima was founded in 1926 by Rafael Larco Hoyle in a restored 18th-century viceregal mansion in the Pueblo Libre district. The museum holds one of the world's greatest collections of pre-Columbian art — over 45,000 pieces spanning 5,000 years of ancient Peruvian civilisation, from the Chavín culture through the Moche, Wari, Chimú, and Inca empires.
