Amano Museum

The Amano Textile Museum is internationally renowned for its great collection of archaeological material from pre-Columbian Peruvian cultures and the valuable contribution of Mr. Yoshitaro Amano to the protection of the world’s textile heritage. The museum was born after Mr. Amano, a successful Japanese businessman, decided to settle in Peru.
In his travels throughout Peru, Mr. Amano came across objects that had been abandoned by tomb raiders. As a cultured man, he understood the importance of such items and began to devote much of his time to the recovery and conservation of objects scattered across the coastal deserts of Peru, which he then displayed in his home in Miraflores.
