    Lots of ancient artifacts and fun stuff to see at the National Museum, including mummy heads!

  • Directions: We just told the cab driver to go the National museum, but the website says: Location: Plaza Bolívar s/n Pueblo Libre

    judging you in wax

    This place was kinda lame. There's an English speaking tour available and you get to see some wax figures and go down into an area that used to be like a dungeon or something. Our guide sounded like she was trying to justify the inquisition (Yes, they killed Jews, but only the ones that lied about secretly practicing"), which was really weird. The torture museum in San Francisco has more wax figures than this place. And yes, this place is so lame I just compared it to the torture museum in San Francisco. Skip this and go to the National Museum or one of the many other museums in Lima instead.

    Lima's Art Museum has an impressive array of not only art but also pre-Colombian artifacts and period colonial furniture. The lovely building is well situated in the nicest of central Lima's parks.

    If you collect local Maps like I do, this is the place to go for a wonderful selection. Inside you can also by some incredibly detailed Orthophotos. This would be a good place to visit if you are planning an Amazon expedition. You actually need to show your passport to gain entrance.

  • Date: 26 Nov 2003 Amazing look at the pottery and a masive collection on show from all the periods in Peru. Makes me wonder what our society will leave behind apart from a bunch of wires...

    Cultural and recreational opportunities are varied in the metropolitan area. The municipal theater hosts theater, symphony, opera, and ballet performances. Lima is home to a wide range of museums, many focusing on Peru's indigenous heritage. These include the National Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology, the Gold Museum of Peru, the Museum of the Central Reserve Bank, and the Rafael Larco Herrera Museum, which specializes in pre-Hispanic ceramics. Art and history museums are also found in metropolitan Lima, including the National Museum of the Republic, the Museum of Peruvian Culture, and the Museum of the Inquisition, in the building where colonial Catholic officials questioned and tortured those suspected of heresy or witchcraft.
