About the exhibition
In this way, the National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology and History of Peru invites you to explore its brand new exhibition Art and Technologies of Millenary Peru. It is the history of multiple societies that housed anonymous authors, not only of products and instruments for daily life, but also others to dedicate to their deities.
The exhibition comprehensively covers the entire Peruvian history, and includes accounting, metallurgical, textile, war and conflict technologies, and fishing and aquatic resource collection technologies that provide an idea of the development of our skills in the past.
Given this opportunity, a careful selection of works will be presented, such as Inca quipus and keros (sacred vessels), valuable manuscripts from the republic, the fabulous Paracas textiles, an assortment of clothing from the colonial nobility, parts of an 18th century armor, and exclusive jewelry such as Inca silver tupus, the renowned Lambayeque gold and silver mask, and the iconic gold tumi.
This exhibition opens its doors with the intention of discovering the inexhaustible creative source of Peruvian ingenuity, whose origin is sunk in time and the skill of the skills of our ancestors. A legacy that lives on in our own population, innovative and proactive, always adapting its progress for the progress of the country.
