INTERVIEW THE LARCO MUSEUM WAS CREATED IN 1926 AT THE CHICLIN HACIENDA OUTSIDE OF TRUJILLO, ON PERU’S NORTHERN COAST. RAFAEL LARCO HOYLE, ITS FOUNDER, HAD INHERITED A COLLECTION OF OVER 600 ANCIENT PERUVIAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL PIECES FROM HIS FATHER, RAFAEL LARCO HERRERA. HE USED THEM AS THE MUSEUM’S FIRST EXHIBIT. IN 1960, THE LARCO MUSEUM MOVED TO ITS PRESENT LOCATION IN PUEBLO LIBRE, A DISTRICT OF LIMA. IN 2010, WITH OVER 44,000 PIECES CATALOGUED, THE LARCO MUSEUM WAS RE-LAUNCHED WITH AN UP-TO-DATE MUSEOGRAPHY THAT HAS TURNED IT INTO ONE OF THE BEST MUSEUMS IN LIMA. BELOW, THE LARCO MUSEUM’S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ANDRÉS ÁLVAREZ CALDERÓN TALKS TO US ABOUT THE LARCO TODAY AND ITS VISION FOR THE FUTURE. By Rodrigo Cabrera What role does the Larco Museum play today in Lima’s tourism-related offerings? It would be wrong of me to say because I work in the Larco Museum. I prefer to tell you what the public says. The Larco Museum has been on Trip Advisor for five years, always ranking in the top five tourist attractions in Lima. In 2010, the year we renovated and re-launched the Museum, we moved into first place in Lima, and right now we are ranked the number two tourist attraction in South America. We’re filling a gap in Lima; some museums are being remodelled, and others have fallen into bureaucratic lethargy. The Larco Museum, recently renovated, with a new, consumer friendly point of view, has, without a doubt, positioned itself as a not-to-be-missed, Lima attraction. What has the evolution of the Larco Museum been from its founding to today? The Larco Museum has evolved in different ways; first in its museographic vision. When the Larco Museum was founded, its goal was to fill in the chronological gaps between Peruvian cultures. Since the remodelling in 2010, the Museum has moved into a more narrative museological phase, attempting to understand the ancient Peruvians through their cosmovision, or vision of the world and their roles in it. We want to tell history in an interesting and fun way that ties together current, interdisciplinary academic research. It is a huge evolution in how museums relate to people and it will define this age, though one does not see it yet. What is crystal clear is that people today like learning about ancient Peru by visiting the Larco Museum. Álv
