During the guided visit, you'll explore galleries showcasing the world's most remarkable collection of pre-Columbian gold and silver, bearing witness to the grandeur of ancient Andean civilizations.
You'll also explore the museum’s famous and unique erotic pottery collection, offering insight into how pre-Hispanic cultures understood sexuality, fertility, and their connection with nature.
