Today, the 14th, we went to the Museo Larco to see pre-Incan ceramics both erotic and non-erotic. We also had lunch, our most expensive meal in Peru so far.
The museum itself is in a remarkably beautiful setting. Here is the entrance
Those are buganvilia growing up the wall. As you'll see there are a lot more.
And cactus. Someone is having fun gardening.
Years ago Olga and I saw an Picasso Erotica exhibit in Montreal. Many of Picasso's works were if vaginas with teeth. I thought at the time, "What a mind!" Well, he wasn't so original.
This stone stela from 1500 years ago Peru can be seen to have what they call a vagina dentata.
Here are some really nice ceramics.
I saw a painting of all the Inca and Spanish rulers of Peru. Curiously they spelled Inka either Inga or Ynga. The word Inca refers to just the leader more than the follwers of the leader even though we often use it both ways.
Referring to the population as Incans is like referring to Brits as Queeners because the follow the Queen of England.
Half way through the mesum we decided to go out into the garden and have lunch.
I didn't put any pictures of ceramica erotica in the blog. There is a separate room where it is on display. Picasso had nothing to teach them.
There was also some gold in the exhibit. This is funeral attire.
