Treasures of the Larco Museum in Lima, Peru

 From December 21 to January 6 we took an interesting cruise up the coast of South America from Callao (Lima) Peru through the Panama Canal to Fort Lauderdale, Florida aboard the Silversea ship Silver Moon. We flew to Lima a couple of days early to see some more of this interesting city. 

One of Lima's treasures is the Larco Museum, "a privately owned museum of pre-Columbian art, located in the Pueblo Libre District of Lima, Peru. The museum is housed in an 18th-century vice-royal building. It showcases chronological galleries that provide a thorough overview of 5,000 years of Peruvian pre-Columbian history." (Wikipedia). 

For the next several days I'll be posting photos of some of the Larco holdings that particularly attracted my camera.
