Our excursion to the GOLD MUSEUM OF PERU allows you to appreciate a dazzling collection of gold pieces from various pre-Columbian cultures, some more than 3,000 years old. Objects and jewels of priceless goldsmithing are displayed, worked in gold, silver and precious stones, highlighting the ornaments and objects that in their time of splendor used the Incas, sons of the Sun God and monarchs of the vast Inca Empire. The fame of Peru's gold attracted numerous European adventurers 500 years ago and was the cause of the end of the Inca empire, giving rise to the Viceroyalty of Peru of the Spanish Crown.
The Gold Museum of Peru also exhibits a valuable collection of ancient and modern weapons that are considered one of the best of its kind in the world. These rooms show armor, uniforms and objects from various times and places, including some dating back 1,300 years B.C. This exhibition is known as the Museum of World Weapons.
