Galería Jade Rivera World — Attraction in Lima Metropolitan Area

Tucked away in the artistic heart of one of Lima’s most enchanting neighborhoods, the Jade Rivera Museum is a deeply moving tribute to an artist whose works you've probably seen plastered over the many buildings you've passed by in Lima.

Birds often appear as a motif in his work as symbols of freedom and as companions to his hauntingly tender figures. Rivera speaks to the quiet struggles of modern life while offering a glimmer of transformation.

Without being asked, they approached me and guided me through Rivera’s narratives, unpacking his visual language with care and thoughtfulness.
