THE ARCHEOLOGY, ANTHROPOLOGY AND HISTORY OF PERU MUSEUM & LARCO HERRERA MUSEUM
Visit Larco Museum, a private collection exhibiting more than 45,000 pieces, mostly ceramics, collected by Peruvian archeologist Rafael Larco Hoyle. This exhibition is located in a fitted-out venue and it’s well known by its collection of erotic ceramics too. Up next, visit the Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology. This small but well organized museum, located in the district of Pueblo Libre, offers you one of the best perspectives of Peruvian art and archaeology presented in a chronological order, enabling you a full understanding of it. The museum holds pieces such as Raimondi Stela and the Tello Obelisk, both from Chavin culture; textiles and mummies from Paracas culture; and Nazca and Mochica ceramics, among the most important ones.
