Have you been to the Museo Larco in Lima? šµšŖ
Itās one of those places that completely changes how you look at ancient Peru.
Inside this beautiful museum are thousands of years of pre-Columbian art, ceramics, textiles, gold and silver, each piece telling a little more of the story of the civilizations that flourished here long before the Inca.
And then thereās the famous Erotic Gallery. It may be what gets people talking, but thereās far more to it than first meets the eye. Much of the collection, particularly the remarkable Moche ceramics, explores fertility, life and death, nature, ritual and the relationship between this world and the world of the ancestors.
Some of it will make you look twice. š But viewed through the beliefs of ancient Andean cultures, these pieces werenāt simply provocative. They were part of a much bigger story about life, renewal and the mysteries of existence.
Thatās what I love about the Larco Museum. You donāt just walk around looking at beautiful objects. You leave understanding ancient Peru a little better.
And for those joining us on our Serene Journeys Peru 2027 journey, weāll be taking you there. ā¤ļø
