National Afro-Peruvian Museum, African heritage museum in Historic Center, Lima, Peru.
The National Afro-Peruvian Museum exhibits artifacts, art pieces, and educational materials documenting the presence of African descendants in Peru through nine permanent exhibition halls.
The museum opened its doors on June 4, 2009, in the Casa de las Trece Monedas, a colonial building from 1780 that belonged to the López-Flores family.
The exhibition rooms present traditional music instruments, dance costumes, and artworks that showcase the influence of African culture in Peruvian society.
Guided tours operate Monday through Saturday at specific times, with advance reservations required for groups visiting the museum.
The collection includes colonial-era shackles, chains, and freedom letters that document the transition from slavery to emancipation in Peru.
