Amazing experience
I can't believe that the hotel and taxi drivers didn't know where this was! This was one of the main reasons I wanted to visit Lima and I was not disappionted. The artifacts are well catalogued and there is information by each exhibit in English which has bveen acurately translated. The building is fairly new and located in a residential area. There are workshops around the building and a shop to purchase items. For anyone who works with fabric or is a crafter this is a must on their itinerary. I came away inspired by what I saw with many ideas for future projects. I think it's amazing the country cares so much about it's heritage in this way.

Textile Museum
If you have ANY interest in antique textiles, this is the museum for you. It is a collection that Mr. Amano amassed when no one knew what these textiles were and had no interest in. The curator was lovely and showed us around and explained everything to us...it was amazing!
