Step into the vibrant world of Peru and discover how people have thrived for millennia in one of the most complex and challenging environments on the planet.
Marking Peru’s bicentennial year of independence, this exhibition
highlights the history, beliefs and cultural achievements of the different
peoples who lived here from around 2500 BC to the arrival of Europeans in the
1500s, and their legacy in the centuries that followed.
From Peru’s early indigenous peoples to the ill-fated Inca, discover 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. Find out how they developed unique approaches to time, agriculture,
economy and power, some of which endure today.
The exhibition features objects from the British Museum’s collection, including
ceramics, precious metals, textiles and ritual paraphernalia, as well as
extraordinary pieces borrowed from Peru itself. Striking, large-scale
photography and videos of iconic sites, including the Nasca geoglyphs and Machu
Picchu, will also give visitors a vivid sense of place and an appreciation of
the artistic and architectural prowess of ancient Andean cultures.
