    Founded in 1926 by Rafael Larco Hoyle, a pioneer of Peruvian archaeology, the Larco Museum houses a fascinating collection of pre-Columbian art with around 45,000 objects.
    Housed in an 18th-century Viceroyalty mansion and surrounded by beautiful gardens, the Larco Museum is a place that stimulates and inspires, where it is possible to enjoy and learn more about the fascinating history of ancient Peru.
    Don't forget to visit the Erotic Gallery on the ground floor.
    The eroticism present in this important ceramic collection evokes longing, attraction and the meeting of the opposing but complementary forces that allow life to regenerate itself endlessly.
