Very informative

The Museum of Pre-Columbian Art - MAP Cusco is an experience that allows you to discover the mystical art of ancient Peru. It houses and exhibits admirable objects for its history and aesthetics, created by women and men of the Andes, more than three thousand years ago until the sixteenth century, in the territory where Peru is located nowadays. The 400 pieces exhibited in the MAP Cusco, located in the historic Casona Cabrera, a few blocks from the Plaza de Armas, are part of the collection of the Larco Museum, considered one of the best 20 museums in the world. The MAP Cusco, managed by the BBVA Foundation, offers the possibility of exploring its ten rooms with audio guides in three languages: Spanish, English and French. The narratives will bring the visitor closer to the worldview that defined the beliefs of the ancient Peruvians. The visitor can also enjoy MAP Café tasting the incomparable flavor of Peruvian cuisine in a magical and peaceful setting.

worth the time and soles
Small but well done. Reminded me of a mini-Larco. The design of the museum was only surpassed by the quality of the pieces. Nice stop that gives solid info on the area and Peru throughout time, which reminds you the Incas are only a small, but important, part.

Behold beautiful creations of long ago
I like art in intimate spaces. It allows me to take it all in, not rush or feel overwhelmed. This museum is in a lovely building so that was a good start already. But what really took me in was the art - it was presented with care, as it should be, since this is art from centuries and millennia ago and beautiful on multiple levels. The video introduction was especially helpful in pulling it all together for me - that this is one of the cradles of civilization and here are expressive artifacts to prove it!
