Fodor's Review:
Although it consists of only two rooms, this museum packs a lot into a small space. The private collection of pre-Columbian artifacts includes one of the best displays of ceramics in the city. Imaginative displays reveal how cultures in the northern part of the region focused on sculptural images, while those in the south used vivid colors. In between, around present-day Lima, the styles merged. A second room holds an impressive number of weavings, including examples from the Chancay people, who lived in the north between 1000 and 1500. Some of their work is so delicate that it resembles the finest lace. Call ahead, as you need an appointment to join one of the Spanish-language tours.
