Museo Hilario Mendívil 
Museums / Galleries, Cusco
Fodor's Review:
In the home of famous 20th-century Peruvian religious artist Hilario Mendívil (1929-77), this gallery displays the maguey-wood and rice-plaster sculptures of the Virgin with the elongated necks that were the artist's trademark. Art has always been a family affair among this clan; Mendívil, himself the son of artists, began painting at age 10, and his wife, Georgina Dueñas, who died in 1998, also had an artistic flair. Their six children have continued the tradition since their father's death, and several budding painters and sculptors have sprung up in the fourth generation of Mendívils as well.
