Educational & delicious experience - The museum was amazing to learn about pre-Incan history of Peru. Lunch at the restaurant was delicious with great service by Angel.

Largo Pre-Colombian Museum - Superb museum for understanding the underpinnings of the Incan and Andes cultures prior to the Spanish invasion. Remarkable collection of finely preserved artifacts told in an easy to follow story. Great museum shop. The Erotic collection was powerful and artistic, placing sexuality in a historical context with cultural belief systems of the indigenous people.

Surprised - Well worth a visit. I never thought I would enjoy looking at old Peruvian pottery. However, even after 2 hours there I wasn't ready to leave. It has an amazing collection .
