Discover the gold and ancient treasures of the Gold of Peru Museum on a private tour, exploring five rooms of gold artifacts with a knowledgeable guide, plus the Weapons of the World Museum's extensive armory collection. A private, guided visit through the Mujica Gallo family's two collections: pre-Columbian gold artifacts spread across five themed rooms, and a separate, extensive collection of weapons and armor from around the world.
The Gold of Peru collection was assembled over decades by Miguel Mujica Gallo, a Peruvian diplomat and collector, who opened it to the public in 1968 alongside a second, separate collection: the Weapons of the World Museum. Both are still housed together in the same purpose-built, vault-style building in the Monterrico district, and together they hold tens of thousands of pieces — pre-Columbian gold, silver, and platinum objects, textiles, ceramics, and funerary bundles in one wing, and arms and armor spanning many countries and centuries in the other.
The gold collection's own history includes a real, well-documented controversy worth knowing honestly. In 2001, Peru's consumer-protection authority commissioned archaeologists from Lima's Pontifical Catholic University to examine the museum's metal pieces; of several thousand analyzed, the large majority were found to be modern reproductions rather than genuine ancient originals, with authenticity still in question for a further group. The museum, now administered by the Miguel Mujica Gallo Foundation, responded by bringing in its own archaeologists and conservators to review the collection room by room and remove confirmed fakes — work that has continued in the years since, alongside the real pre-Columbian pieces that remain on display.
The companion Weapons of the World collection is unaffected by that controversy and remains one of the more extensive private arms-and-armor collections open to the public in South America, spanning pre-Columbian weaponry through to European suits of armor and firearms from more recent centuries — the second half of this private visit.
