Founded in 1926, the Larco Herrera Museum is located in a mansion of the 18th century built over a 7th century pre-Columbian pyramid and surrounded by beautiful gardens.

It provides an excellent overview on 3000 years of development of Peruvian pre-Columbian history and features the finest gold and silver collection from Ancient Peru and a famous erotic archaeological collection.
