The "cire perdue"(lost wax), known in the East but lost in the West until the Renaissance, was the most used method by master craftsmen in Peru. Our excursion to the Peruvian Gold Museum will allow an appreciation of a dazzling collection of gold pieces, of various pre-Columbian cultures, some more than 3, 000 years old. The museum exhibits artefacts and jewels of gold of incalculable value in gold, silver and precious stones, highlighting ornaments and articles that Incas used in its heyday, (sons of the Sun God and monarchs of the vast Inca Empire). The fame of Peru's Gold attracted many European adventurers 500 years ago and led to the end of the empire of the Incas, giving rise to the Viceroyalty of Peru from the Spanish Crown. The Gold Museum of Peru also exhibits a valuable collection of weapons ancient and modern are considered one of the best of its kind worldwide. In its rooms are displayed armour, uniforms and objects from different times and places, including some dating back 1, 300 years BC. This presentation is known as “Weapons of the World Museum”.
