The Lima Art Museum (MALI) occupies a striking Beaux-Arts palace in the heart of Lima. Its permanent collection spans 3,000 years, from pre-Columbian textiles and ceramics to colonial religious paintings and 20th-century avant-garde works. Rotating exhibitions highlight modern and contemporary Peruvian artists. The museum's central location and airy galleries make it a comfortable cultural stop.
