Metropolitan Museum of Lima

The Metropolitan Museum of Lima (Museo Metropolitano de Lima) is a museum located next to the Park of the Exhibition in Lima, Peru. The neoclassical building that houses the museum was designed by French architect Claude Sahut and built in 1924, formerly housing the country's Ministry of Development and Public Works. It was inaugurated on October 10, 2010.

The museum links the history of the city with the history of Peru using audiovisual resources such as scenery, videos and holograms, which covers the pre-Hispanic, viceregal and republican eras told by the characters who shaped it, such as Viceroy Amat, Rose of Lima, Pancho Fierro, José Olaya, José de San Martín, Simón Bolívar, Ricardo Palma, Abraham Valdelomar, Miguel Grau, among others.

It has 27 projection rooms, whose museographic direction was directed by filmmaker Luis Llosa. It also contains a temporary exhibition hall, the Municipal Library, the Historical Archive and the Taulichusco auditorium.
