Grant Description

The Lima Art Museum holds one of the most complete Peruvian textile collections, including Pre-Colombian, Colonial and Republican artifacts. The Museum is only able to display 26 pieces due to the condition and deterioration of most of the pieces.

Funds will support the conservation, documentation and cataloguing of the collection for future display and public access.
