The Pedro de Osma Museum is one of Barranco’s cultural treasures. Housed in a stunning early 20th-century mansion with gardens and stained-glass windows, the museum showcases Peru’s colonial art, from religious paintings and sculptures to decorative pieces that reveal the blend of European and Andean traditions.

Visiting Pedro de Osma feels like stepping back in time. The artwork is impressive, but the mansion itself is equally breathtaking, making it one of the most atmospheric museums in Lima. It’s quieter than the Larco Museum, which gives space to really enjoy the collection and setting.

Pro Tip: Combine a visit to Pedro de Osma with a walk through Barranco’s colorful streets and a stop at one of its cafés or gelaterias.
