History Museums
This museum is home to a large and varied collection of pre-Columbian artifacts, including ceramic erotica. It is situated in an 18th-century viceroys mansion, and the collection has been largely thanks to the donation of Rafael Larco Herrera and the guidance and foundation of his father Rafael Larco Hoyle. The museum offers visitors a fascinating insight into the cultures that created these beautiful objects, which date back over 5000 years.
