MATE - Museo Mario Testino, Photography museum in Barranco, Peru
MATE - Museo Mario Testino is a photography museum located in a restored 19th-century mansion in Barranco with galleries spread across multiple rooms. The collection displays portraits and documentary work covering different subjects and periods.
The museum was established in 2012 and occupies a mansion built in 1898 that underwent careful restoration to preserve its original adobe structure. The building's architecture and layout were maintained to protect its historical character.
The collection documents Peruvian traditions through portraiture and connects them with contemporary artistic practice. You see photographs that capture people in their everyday and ceremonial contexts, bringing the country's heritage to life through the lens.
The entrance is located on Avenida Pedro de Osma, and the building offers level access and accessibility across multiple floors for visitors with mobility needs. It helps to allow plenty of time to view all the rooms and works at a comfortable pace.
The museum holds the final official portraits of Princess Diana taken in 1997 for a magazine. These historically important photographs capture her in private moments that few have seen.
