Museo Amano
Museo Amano not only has a connoisseur's small collection of pre-Columbian pottery, it has drawer after drawer of breathtaking Chancay and other ancient textiles--one of the finest private collections in the world. You must take the informative tour to see this small museum, but it is absolutely worth the trouble of reserving in advance to see these works of art. Most tours in Spanish, but they are also offered in English and Japanese.
