Private Half Day Textiles from Peru at The Amano Museum

The history of Peruvian textile art is the main protagonist of the Amano Museum of Pre-Columbian Textiles located in the heart of the Miraflores district, in the modern seafront of Lima. This will be a journey of more than 3 thousand years of history where we will appreciate around 120 pieces made by expert weavers from the cultures that inhabited the country before the arrival of the Spanish. The pieces manage to capture part of their daily life. As part of this experience, we will have access to the textile drawers where some 460 pieces of the Chancay culture are preserved. This collection is one of the best kept secrets in the country, collected and protected by the Peruvian Japanese citizen Yositaro Amano, who with his dedication and sensitivity managed to recover and preserve these objects abandoned by tomb looters in the coastal deserts. Over the years, his collection has been declared a National Heritage Site and we will have the opportunity to see it up close in a venue considered an architectural jewel.
