Peru Museum Tours

The very best way to see museums in Peru is by contracting a tour with a knowledgeable guide.

An excellent place to start is in Peru's capital city, Lima. Instead of heading straight on to Cusco (Cuzco) when you arrive in Peru, you should definitely plan on at least one day in Lima.

Our Recommendations: Find out what Inside-Peru's recommended Lima cultural tour includes and make your reservations as soon as possible.

Peru - Museums Worldwide

From Inca gold figurines to Paracas textiles and beautiful Moche pottery, museums around the world feature archaeological finds from Peru.

For example, the British Museum in London presents a number of artifacts from an Inca gold llama and cast gold and silver plaques, to textiles from the Paracas culture as well as beautiful Moche pottery and more.

The Peabody Museum in the United States recently was required by a court decision to return thousands of objects to Peru. However, many legally obtained antiquities from Peru can be found in museums in major cities of many countries.
