Pre-Columbian Art Museum in Cuzco, Peru

Hall of gold and precious metal crafts, jewellery in bone and shell, thematic showrooms of a variety of cultures including the Formative epoch, Nazca, Mochica, Huari, Chimú, Chancay, and Inca culture. Special hall of wooden sculptures. Colonial painting hall.
The collection of 450 master pieces date from 1250 BC to1532 AD.
The building synthesizes the urban architecture of the imperial city begging with segments of an Inca wall still preserved in its structure, up to the republican balconies overlooking the patio.
The making of photo's was allowed. So I didn't passed up this chance

First I was allowed to take photo's there. And there was no ristriction. I was very surprised with that, because mostly you are not allowed to do that in a museum. I didn't use flash because most of the peces there were behind glass. Every photo of this presentation is improved with magix 6.0
