Frommer's Review
This very nicely designed museum features a collection of artifacts belonging to a single collector, representing some of Peru's most important civilizations, including the Chimú and the Nasca. The textiles and ceramics are among the best displayed in Lima, and the collection really shows the strength of Chancay weaving (a culture from the northern coast), which you might not see a whole lot of elsewhere. You really have to want to see the collection, though (and qualify, as restrictive as that sounds); it's open for limited hours and only by previous appointment to small groups. Allow about an hour or more.
