MALI is housed inside the Palacio de la Exposición, a neo-Renaissance building designed by Italian architect Antonio Leonardi and inaugurated in 1872 for Lima's International Exhibition, staged to mark Peru's first half-century of independence. It's considered one of the standout examples of 19th-century iron architecture in Latin America — among the first buildings in the region purpose-built to host large-scale exhibitions using the new technique of iron construction.
The building's history between the exhibition and the museum was eventful: it served as headquarters for Lima's Fine Arts Society through the 1870s, then, during the Chilean occupation of Lima in the War of the Pacific, it was used first as a field hospital and later as barracks for Chilean troops. It wasn't until 1955 that the Municipality of Lima handed the building over for restoration, and the Museo de Arte de Lima officially opened inside it on March 10, 1961.
The museum's own collection now spans nearly 3,000 years of Peruvian art — more than 12,000 works arranged across pre-Columbian, colonial, republican, and modern/contemporary galleries, including a noted collection of roughly 2,000-year-old Paracas textiles. On this private visit, one of MALI's own curators leads you through that collection directly, and the tour continues into two areas the general public never sees: the Salón Prado, where you're served a toast, and the museum's working conservation department.
