National Afro-Peruvian Museum (Museo Nacional Afroperuano)

Housed in the 18th-century rococo building known as the Casa de las Trece Monedas, the National Afro-Peruvian Museum (Museo Nacional Afroperuano) in Lima explores the history of Peru’s Black and Afro-descendant communities. The museum offers a detailed look at the origins of the slave trade in Peru, the culture of the enslaved people, and the enduring influence of African traditions in contemporary Peruvian life. Visitors can delve into this rich heritage through a collection of artifacts, documents, and other historical materials that bring the past to life.
