Marking Peru’s bicentennial year of independence and highlighting the time-honored history and culture of Peru, the exhibition Peru: A Journey in Time was opened at the British Museum on November 11, 2021.
This is the first time that the British Museum hold a large-scale major exhibition about Peru, featuring 120 objects from the British Museum and museums in Peru, including ceramics, precious metals, textiles, and ritual paraphernalia. From Peru’s early indigenous peoples to the ill-fated Inca, the exhibition discovers how past cultures were shaped by the diverse landscapes of the central Andes, flourishing at some of the highest altitudes and in some of the driest deserts on earth.
The exhibition also features the photographs and videos of iconic sites, including the Nasca geoglyphs and Machu Picchu, which will give visitors a vivid sense of place and an appreciation of the artistic and architecture prowess of ancient Andean cultures.
The exhibition will run until February 20, 2022.
