Museo de Arte de Lima
Museo de Arte de Lima Review
The facade is covered with graffiti, probably because it adjoins a busy bus stop. But the rest of the Museum of Art is lovingly cared for. Built in 1872 as the Palacio de la Expedición, this mammoth neoclassical structure was designed by Gustav Eiffel (who later built the famous tower). It contains a bit of everything, from pre-Columbian artifacts to colonial-era furniture to modern art. One of the highlights is the collection of 2,000-year-old weavings from Paracas. Leave time to sip an espresso in the café near the entrance.
