Great museum - one of the best we went to in whole of Peru. Taxi to here from Miraflores should be around S.15 to S.20. Ask the gift shop to call you an EasyTaxi back to your hotel for you.

The museum showcases over 4,000 years of Peruvian history. The collection is both vast and varied, with cases and cases of ceramic figurines partaking in huge range of ritual and domestic activities. Read more

Definitely worth checking out the grounds of this beautiful museum and its well curated museum. Try to visit prior to any trips to Machu Picchu, Cuzco (and its nearby ruins).

After visiting the museum, don’t leave yet, there is out of the main building a second part with erotic statues from the Inca’s, definitely a part you don’t want to miss!

Amazing museum! Peruvian history, culture and archeology. Who said that Europe is the cradle of civilization? A must see!

One of the few museums open on Mondays. And they close at 10pm too! The items here tend to be rather small though. The museum restaurant is great too.

Amazing exhibition! The building and garden are also beautiful, definitely worth visiting when in Lima.
Helen ZhangJune 10, 2016
My favorite part was actually the collection of 45k non-showcased items in the side room. Just crazy how many early Peruvian artifacts they have

Don't miss the erotic gallery downstairs across the courtyard (no additional charge). It's definitely adults only.

Their guided tour is inexpensive and quite informative for some not well understood history.

The museum was a highlight of Lima. The erotic gallery here is a funny historic note. The restaurant here was a terrific place for s light bite. Try the chicken empanada.

Very interesting museum. Unbelievable collection of potery in depositories. Pretty interesting „erotic“ exposition. If wandering 'round Lima, give it a shot.

Set in a colonial mansion in Pueblo Libre, Museo Larco showcases a standout collection of pre-Columbian jewelry and ceremonial artifacts that span more than 5,000 years.

Museo lindo; colecciones bien conservadas. Recomiendo contratar guía (10 soles x persona). Me tocó el mes de la lactancia y el museo expuso piezas únicas. El café es famoso por su belleza y postres.
Mónica ConsiglieriJune 30, 2017
Bien equipado y ordenado. Recomiendo reserven su guía para evitar hacer colas. Me gustó el orden y la recreación en pantallas de las historias cerca a las muestras de nuestros antepasados.

Certamente este museu deve ser o primeiro a ser visitado no Peru, pois lá vc terá uma visão completa da história de toda civilização Peruana e poderá aproveitar melhor toda viagem a esse País!

Apesar de eu ter feito uma visita rápida, o museu é muito interessante e o acervo bem legal. Apesar da distância, vale a pena. Dica: deixar para visitá-lo e logo depois ir para o aeroporto.

Frente a un parque pequeño pero muy bonito con el mismo nombre, para visitarlo tiene un costo promedio de 30so. muy frecuentado por extranjeros y el cual si recomiendo 8 puntos*

Pietro CianciarulloApril 2, 2018
Uma das melhores atrações de Lima. Além do acervo que é impressionante, o jardim é muito agradável para um vinho no final de tarde.
