Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco
Avenida El Sol, Cusco, Peru
The Centre for Traditional Textiles of Cusco is a non-profit organisation and museum that preserves and promotes the weaving traditions of Cusco's Quechua communities — a space where you can watch weavers demonstrate traditional techniques, learn about the symbolism encoded in Andean textile patterns, and buy directly from the communities whose livelihoods depend on maintaining these skills.
Museo de Arte Precolombino (MAP)
Plaza de las Nazarenas 231, Cusco
The Museo de Arte Precolombino is the finest pre-Columbian art museum in Peru — a curated collection of 450 masterworks selected by Fernando de Szyszlo from the Museo Larco in Lima, displayed in a 15th-century Inca ceremonial building that was later converted into the colonial Casa Cabrera.
Museo Inka
Calle Prolongación Pera, Cusco, Peru
The Museo Inka is Cusco's most important museum of pre-Columbian art — housed in the colonial Admiral's Palace (a 17th-century mansion with a portal decorated with mythological figures), the museum displays the most comprehensive collection of Inca artifacts in Cusco, including ceramics, textiles, gold and silver objects, mummies, and the quipus (knotted string recording devices) that were the Inca's primary means of record-keeping.
