Amano, Pre-Columbian Textile Museum

A haven for textile lovers. I am passionate about textiles and this museum did not disappoint. A small museum of 4-5 rooms only, but filled with so much knowledge and artifacts about the development of textiles and techniques of Peru. For me this was my highlight for Lima. On the way out there is a little shop selling textiles and handmade pieces from Peru at very reasonable prices. I bought a textile book about Peru to take home with me. A hidden gem in the heart of Lima!

Excellent museum- small with the best artifacts. One of my favorites in Lima

We truly enjoyed this museum. All of the artifacts of ancient Peruvian cultures were fascinating and so well procured.

Lovely museum with fascinating textiles and history. Quiet, well presented and definitely worth a visit.

Well worth visiting with an entrance fee of 35Sol. There are 2 rooms housing historical and cultural textiles and ceramics, displayed clearly and professionally.

A fascinating collection of textiles and artefacts, with engaging explanatory text

Unmissable museum if you are interested in pre inca and inca history, textiles, and artifacts. Do not miss the stag horn et al. plants in the café and the excellent capuccino. And pass by and appreciate the front garden with the water lillies, papyrus plants and majestic fish. What a treat.

Amano is a relatively small, highly curated museum featuring a private collection of artifacts preserved by Mr. Amano. Incredibly charming space, from the koy pond in the front, to the courtyard cafe adorned by vertical plants that attract beautiful birds, to the artisanal shop.
