Lima Art Galleries
(Lima, Peru)
The choice and sheer variety of art galleries on offer within Lima is quite overwhelming, clearly demonstrating the city's rich Peruvian culture and value placed upon the creations of local artists from both the past and present.
However, despite the quantity of art galleries and related museums to be found within Lima, there are a number that really do stand out. One not to miss is the Museo de Arte de Lima (Art Museum), which occupies an especially attractive building and not only boasts an exceptional collection of Peruvian art works spanning some 400 years, but is also home to many priceless pre-Columbian relics, temporary displays and the ever-popular Filmoteca cinema.
Also very memorable and just a short stroll from the Museo de Arte de Lima are the pieces exhibited at the Museo de Arte Italiano (Italian Art Museum). The Museo de Arte Italiano was established in 1921 following a significant donation by the resident Italian community, as part of Peru's 100th Independence Day celebrations. This gallery tends to contain European art works from the early part of the 20th century.
The Museo de Arte Virreynal Pedro de Osma may also be of interest and this interesting private art museum is located within the Barranco area of Lima. Visitors to the Museo de Arte Virreynal Pedro de Osma can expect to appreciate much colonial art and furnishing, together with some rather impressive sculptures gathered from all over Peru.
