Museo de Arte Colonial Pedro de Osma

Frommer's Review

This private museum, located in a historic, ornate Barranco mansion (Palacio de Osma), focuses on colonial Peruvian art from areas that were among the most distinguished cultural centers of the day, including Cusco, Arequipa, and Ayacucho. The house is extraordinary, and the collection of religious art, including polychrome sculptures, retablos (altarpieces), and paintings from the Cusco school, are exceptional for a small, private museum. Out back, across the gardens, is a separate building with a collection of 16th- to 19th-century silver. Plan on spending an hour here.
