Lima Art Museum, Art museum in central Lima, Peru
The Lima Art Museum displays over twelve thousand artworks within the historic Palacio de la Exposición, featuring pre-Columbian artifacts through contemporary pieces.
The institution began in 1954 when the Patronato de las Artes, formed by business leaders and intellectuals, established the museum with support from Lima Municipality.
The museum maintains an extensive documentation center through its library and archives, contributing significantly to art history research in Peru.
Located in downtown Lima, the museum completed a major renovation of its permanent exhibition galleries on the second floor in September 2015.
The museum holds the only comprehensive collection displaying the complete evolution of Peruvian art from pre-Hispanic periods to present day.
