OF THE TOUR
Admire the spectacular pieces of the Gold Museum and Weapons
of the world, and don´t miss the chance of visiting the Friendship Park.
PERUVIAN
GOLD MUSEUM
The incas used to work the metal masterly. The procedure "Cire
Perdue" (Lost wax), which was know in the Eastern and disappeared
in the Western until the age of the Reanissance, was the most
worked by the excellent Peruvian goldsmiths.
Our visit to THE GOLD MUSEUM let us appreciate
a stunning gold collection from different pre-Columbian cultures,
some with more of 3,000 years of age. Objects and Goldsmith
jewels of an impressive value are exhibited. All of them designed
in gold, silver and precious stones, highlighting the ornaments
and objects that in those days used the Incas, sons of the God
Sun and monarchs of the vast Inca Empire.
The fame of the gold of Peru attracted a great number of European
adventurers 500 years ago and it was the reason of the end of
the Incas Empire, giving origin to the Viceroy of Peru, of the
Spain Crown.
Peruvian Gold Museum exhibits a valuable collection
of antique and modern weapons which is considered one of the
best in the world. Armors, uniforms and objects of different
times and places are exhibited in its rooms, even some of the
objects are dated from 1300 B.C. This exhibition is know as
Weapons of the World Museum.
