Peru: A Journey in Time

To coincide with the 200th anniversary of the country’s independence, the British Museum is staging its first major exhibition dedicated to Peru. Featuring six chronologically sequenced sections, it explores the South American country’s ancient cultures and heritage with objects from the British Museum’s own collection and more than 40 on loan from Peru. Along the way, the exhibition will delve into the ways in which Peru’s geographically diverse landscapes – from the Andes mountains to the Amazon rainforest – have inspired unique and fascinating ways of living.
