Overview

The Andrés Del Castillo Museum — MAD brings together science, art, and history through a collection of more than 3,000 pieces that allows one to know the natural and cultural wealth of Peru. Its collections include crystallized minerals, pre-Hispanic ceramics and textiles, traditional art, and painting.

The visit includes the Fluorescent Minerals Room, where some pieces reveal their properties under ultraviolet light, and a virtual reality experience that transports you inside a mine shaft.

The museum is located in Casa Belén, a republican-style house located in the Historic Center of Lima, a few steps from Plaza San Martín. It is open every day, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
