 It houses the private collection of Miguel Mujica Gallo. It features gold figures, jewelry, masks, knives and artifacts from the Inca and colonial periods. It also contains mummies, headdresses and other ancient relics.Upstairs from the Gold Museum is the equally fascinating Weapons Museum, which houses weapons and armor from many cultures. Artifacts from Peru's history, such as items owned by the Pizarro brothers and Simon Bolivar are also on display. You may want to do both museums as part of a tour, as the displays are not always clearly marked. Best Tour including a Gold Museum visit: More information: |
