Museum of Italian Art, Art museum in Historic Centre of Lima, Peru
The Museum of Italian Art exhibits over 200 original sculptures, paintings, drawings, prints, and ceramics representing different regions of Italy.
The museum opened in 1923 as a gift from the Italian community to Peru for the country's centennial independence celebration in 1921.
The museum building incorporates architectural elements from Bramante, Donatello, Ghiberti, Michelangelo, and Botticelli, with Venetian mosaics on its facade.
Located on Avenue Paseo de la República, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Saturday between 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM.
Since 1998, blind visitors can experience art through touch, using special gloves to feel bronze and marble sculptures during guided sessions.
