Experience the rich textile heritage of ancient Peru on this private 2-hour visit to the Amano Museum of Pre-Columbian Textiles in Miraflores, Lima. Discover over 3,000 years of history through a carefully curated collection of around 120 exceptional textile pieces created by pre-Hispanic cultures, each reflecting daily life, beliefs, and artistic mastery before the arrival of the Spanish.
A highlight of the visit is access to the museum’s famous textile drawers, where more than 460 preserved pieces from the Chancay culture are stored—one of Peru’s best-kept archaeological treasures. Learn the story of collector Yositaro Amano, whose dedication helped preserve these fragile works rescued from coastal desert tombs, now recognized as part of Peru’s cultural heritage. Set within an elegant architectural space, this intimate experience offers a deep and fascinating look into one of the world’s most sophisticated textile traditions.
