The Best Independent Art Galleries In Lima Peru

Lima is the capital of Peru and just about everything else too, including the Peruvian art scene. You’ll find Peru’s best artists housed in some of Lima’s classic mansions, gutted out and transformed into the most idyllic places to view art. With so many international and Peruvian artists on display in the countless galleries, you’ll find a week’s worth of art viewing. Here’s the must-see galleries while you’re in Lima.

1. Yvonne Sanguineti Art Gallery

Art Gallery

With two exhibition rooms, this gallery shows not only paintings, but sculpture, photography, ceramics and engraving, all representative of the most recent trends in art and art philosophy.

2. Proyecto Amil

Art Gallery

The art gallery began in part as a way to engage the public in serious critical discussion of contemporary culture, using art as the vehicle to begin the discussion. They have continued in this tradition while showcasing the best contemporary artists in Lima and Peru.

3. Vèrtice

Art Gallery

This art gallery has been around for a minute, opening its doors in 2007, and since gaining a name for itself within the Lima art scene. Beginning with a focus on local Peruvian artists, they have now expanded their scope to include artists from all over Latin America. They focus on the most progressive in Latin American art and are always a favorite to spot the next best Peruvian or Latin American artist.
