Discover the legacy of a millennia-old civilization! The exhibition “Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru” invites you on an unforgettable journey through time, transporting you 3,000 years back to explore the mysteries and grandeur of ancient Peruvian civilizations.
After being showcased in Boca Raton (USA), Paris, and Milan, this acclaimed exhibition—hailed by Andrew James Hamilton, curator of the Art Institute of Chicago, and described in The New York Times as “the crème de la crème”— will arrive at the Australian Museum on November 23, the oldest museum in Australia and the fifth oldest natural history museum in the world.
Featuring over 130 exceptional pieces from the Larco Museum in Lima, including exquisite jewelry and funerary objects from royal tombs, as well as one of the most impressive gold collections worldwide, the exhibition unveils deep insights into the daily life, spirituality, and achievements of ancient Peruvian cultures, inviting visitors to discover their legacy and wisdom.
Attendees will also have the chance to experience “Machu Picchu and the Spirit of the Condor,” the first virtual reality exhibit of the iconic Inca citadel. This award-winning experience, recognized for “Best Use of Virtual Reality” at the 12th annual Lumiere Awards, offers captivating visual and sensory immersion that brings the mystique of Machu Picchu closer without leaving Sydney.
“Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru is the most innovative way to encourage travelers from all around the world to explore our many wonders”, says Inkaterra CEO and exhibition partner José Koechlin.
In addition to offering a glimpse into the past, this exhibition strengthens the cultural ties between Australia and Peru. For those interested in exploring Peru, the Australian tour operator Adventure World will present its renowned itinerary, “The Authentic Peru,” which includes stays at Inkaterra in some of the country’s most iconic destinations, such as the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest, the Sacred Valley, and, of course, Machu Picchu.
