Lima - Banco Central de Reserva del Peru Museum Museo del Banco Central de Reserva del Perú

Just a short walk south of the Plaza de Armas in central Lima is the Museo del Banco Central de Reserva, at the corner of Ucayal and Lampa. The museum is divided into three sections; numismatist, archeology, and art. On display are coins and notes from around the world, pre-Colombian ceramics and textiles, and Peruvian art from the 19th and 20th Centuries. Of particular interest is the extensive ceramic collection from the pre-Inca Vicus culture. The art collection at the Museo del Banco Central de Reserva is also quite impressive with works by such artists as Pancho Fierro, Enrique Polanco, and Jose Sabogal.
