Museo de Arte de Lima

Fodor's Review:

Built in 1872 as the Palacio de la Expedición, this mammoth neoclassical structure designed by Gustav Eiffel now houses the Museum of Art. It has a bit of everything, from pre-Columbian artifacts to colonial-era furniture to contemporary paintings. One of the highlights is the collection of 2,000-year-old weavings from Paracas. Make sure to leave time to sip an espresso in the dimly lit café near the entrance.
