     This extraordinary Cuzco historic monument holds the only museum in Perú dedicated to rebound the arts of ancient Peruvian cultures. The collection of 450 master pieces dates from 1250 B.C to.1532 A.D. They were selected among 45,000 objects located at the storages of the Larco Museum in Lima, by curators Fernando of Szyszlo and Cecilia Bákula.
      The exhibition uses texts in Spanish, English and French to emphasize the artistic context of the collection displayed in 11 showrooms inside the museum. Its galleries were designed to meet the highest standards of modern museography enabling the visitors to admire Pre-Columbian art in its best expression.

      The Pre-Columbian Art Museum is the first Peruvian museum that presents visitors with the aesthetic aspects of the exhibited objects that belong to ancient Peruvian cultures.
       This is a space conceived for the appreciation, delight and approximation to the artistic wealth of the creations left to us by ancient men, who since immemorial times established a path for Peruvians artists to follow throughout all generations, a place from which contemporary generations can learn and feel motivated by. The work exhibited in this museum summarizes the feeling and artistic sensibilities of the men of Pre-Columbian Peru. The Museum intends to rescue the unique work of those anonymous artist whose creations are still a reason for pride and admiration.
