Miraflores - Amano Museum Museo Amano

Located in Miraflores, Museo Amano (Amano Museum) houses the private collection of Mr. Yoshitaro Amano, who the museum is named after. On display are ceramics and textiles, organized chronologically to illustrate the differences and advances from one culture to the next. Although there are a range of Pre-Columbian cultures represented, including Chimu and Nazca, the Museo Amano is best known for its remarkable collection of textiles from the Chancay culture.

This is a lesser known culture from the northern coast and consequently not seen as much in other museums.

Guided tours of Museo Amano are available to small groups only and last about one hour. Tours must be booked in advance.
