Exhibitions Permanent Exhibition Gold & Jewelry The richness from the Americas, represented in objects and raw materials, belong to the fables of our historical memory. In the Andean world, the beauty and durability of metals gave objects an almost divine value. These objects allowed the Incas to poetically define their religion, their cosmological world and even their own genealogy. More than economical assets, they were beautiful objects, transformed from metal into beautiful adornments and artifacts to be offered to their gods. These objects were worn by the representatives of these gods or like the paraphernalia the ruler took to his afterlife. |
