Manos Peruanas (Peruvian hands) offers a place to discover the creative world of Peru's masters of folk artists that still work with traditional techniques, cultural expression, myths and legends that were used for many hundreds years by the indigenous Peruvians.

The museum displays Peru's largest private collection of contemporary art like a selection of works from the Inti Raymi National Folk Art Award and crafts from Peru's Pacific, Andean and Amazon region. The museums shop offers a variety of hand crafted products including decorative pottery and ceramic home ware, woven textiles, modern and colonial furniture, alpaca wool clothing and accessories and traditional Peruvian folk art.
