Museo de Arte Precolombino Larco

"A sister institution to the Larco Museum in Lima, MAP is one of the best museums in Cuzco . The museum usesobjects of Peru’s many pre-Columbian civilizations toexplain their differing cultures. Exhibits—representing cultures from as early as 1250 B.C.E.up until 1532 C.E., when Spanish conquistadors arrived—includeartifacts produced in ceramic, wood, stone, silver, and gold. Some pieces are utilitarian, others purely ceremonial or decorative, but all help you picture what life might have been like in the time of the artisans who created them."

My Suggested Peru Itineraries: From 1 Week to 1 Month

"I recommended the Pre-Columbian Art Museum in Cusco as a good spot to see archaeological artifacts and pre-Columbian artworks (about 500 items), and noted that many pieces are on loan from Museo Larco so it's a suitable alternative if you missed Larco in Lima." - Matthew Kepnes
