Museo Arquelógico Rafael Larco Herrera or the Larco Museum is one of the many Lima attractions that should not be missed. The Larco Museum was established in 1926 and it is prominent because of the many galleries within that give an overview of the development of Peru and its pre-Columbian history for over 3000 years. The Larco Museum is one of the few museums wherein visitors can enter a storage area where about 45,000 archeological objects are preserved.
A trip to the Larco Museum is one of the activities in Lima that visitors can do. Not only will the visitors delight in the displays of Pre-Columbian art but they’ll also learn about the rich culture of the country. The most popular among the displays include the thousands of ceramic “portrait heads” that were made thousands of years back. The Erotic Gallery that features sexual images, particularly the ceramics that shows all sorts of sexual positions is also a must see.
