Museo Larco: 100 Years Preserving the Past to Inspire the Future
Understanding life in a different way
As Museo Larco celebrates its 100th anniversary, it remains a place where the past and present are in conversation. Founded in 1926 by Rafael Larco Hoyle, it houses one of the most important collections of pre-Columbian art in the Americas.
Here, every object invites us to see the world through different eyes—to discover how ancient Peruvian cultures understood life, time, death, and the sacred. It’s a space that blends beauty, knowledge, and emotion, offering visitors from around the world an intimate and transformative experience.
More than a museum, Museo Larco is a place of encounter, memory, and reflection. Its open-storage galleries, digital collection, and strong commitment to education and conservation make it an international reference in museography and hospitality.
Your support helps us protect this legacy and share it with the world. Join our community and be part of this living heritage.

Let’s Build the Hall of Eternity Together
As Museo Larco celebrates its 100th anniversary, it dreams of creating the Hall of Eternity : a modern, earthquake-resistant facility that will protect over 50,000 artifacts telling the story of ancient Peru. This space will not simply be a storage room, but an open and visitable place where these pieces can continue sharing their voices with the world. It will extend the museum’s pioneering tradition of accessible storage, allowing visitors to explore up close the richness of Andean cultures. Building the Hall of Eternity is an act of collective responsibility. It ensures that what we admire today can also inspire future generations. Every object preserved there will remain a voice that continues to speak to humanity. Help us bring this vision to life. Your donation will make it possible for the legacy of ancient Peru to keep shining into the present and future. Museo Larco
