Peru » Entertainment in Lima

Lima has quite a considerable range of museums, including art, archaeology and history. The Museo de Arte de Lima, situated in the centre of Lima, was the city's first museum of art and houses.

Lima has an interesting stable of artists and every two years the Bienal de Arte is held when a range of galleries and large buildings in the centre of Lima open to the general public with exhibitions of works by Peruvian and foreign artists. The most popular galleries include the Galería de la Municipalidad de Miraflores and Galería Forum, which can both be found in Miraflores.

Peru is very rich ethnically, in dance, music and tradition. The Pena folklorica held at Brisas del Titicaca affords memorable performances of Andean song and dance especially from the Puna district. The lively ambience invites all to join in along with the cast of professional performers. It is without an uncertainty the best spot in town of its kind. No video cameras are permitted, still cameras permitted.

For cinema-lovers, there are a gigantic number of movie theatre complex, which have spread up all over the city. They mostly show Hollywood blockbusters. Lima is not really known for its theatre, but from time to time there are a few motivating plays and shows.
