A spectacular findOn a quite street in Lima is an archealogical treasure. The museum is a tribute to one mans desire to preserve a countries heritage.

Poli CollectionWell worth it just to listen to the elder Mr Poli talk and discuss (one sided) his views on the collection, the Catholic Church, Spaniards (invaders, not conquistadors), the ancient peoples of the area, and humanity in general.

The Gold of The SipanThis unassuming home in what would appear to be a middle class neighborhood in Lima houses one of the most incredible collections of Peruvian, Incan, Quechuan art and pre-Columbian art you will ever lay eyes on.
