Larco Museum

Housed in a Lima mansion, this museum focuses on pre-Inca artifacts from all over Peru. It does an excellent job of surveying and explaining pre-Inca cultures. The museum also has a large exhibit on pre-Inca erotic art, exploring the notions of sexuality in those cultures. There’s also a good café onsite.
