This is a wonderful free little museum packed with info. They do not seem to have English speaking guides but we just so happened to come across a school group with very generous students who translated everything to us, they seemed very excited to do so too. We even got an impromptu musical performance from the students and guide! It was fun. Took about 1.5 hours to see it all with a guide. Of course our experience was a bit of serendipity but with Google translate handy it’s well worth the visit to this beautiful historic home and museum.

Visité el museo el 13/10/2014. Está instalado en una hermosa casa del siglo XVI, perfectamente mantenida, en la que seguramente algunos de los hombres y mujeres negros de los que allí se cuenta la historia, han sido esclavizados. Es un museo pobre en objetos, su muestra se compone fundamentalmente de reproducciones pictóricas, maniquíes y paneles explicativos, con excepción de una única fotografía de un castigo real inflingido a un esclavo. Resulta extraño que no haya objetos recuperados cuando la ciudad entera está asentada sobre un campo con un riquísimo patrimonio cultural de épocas precoloniales y coloniales. Basta visitar el Museo del Congreso y de la Inquisición muy cerca de allí, y el museo Larco con sus varios miles de piezas para comprobarlo. No dudo que exista una intencionalidad de ocultamiento en este aspecto. Las visitas que pude presenciar con niños escolares me resultaron bastante escuetas y veloces, y utilizando algún vocabulario que no sé si esos niños comprenden. Tal vez no estuvo a la altura de mis expectativas. Pero deshaciéndome de ellas, resulta sumamente ilustrativa una visita para asomarse al menos a una etapa de nuestra historia americana que no se ha cerrado. La cultura afroperuana está en vigor y muchos de sus integrantes la están...

This Afro-Peruvian museum is very Important especially for the Afro-descendant Peruvian community. It's small, although full of so much history. It was an amazing feeling to have experienced the opportunity to visit this museum. I actually got chills and was very emotional in certain areas of the museum. They do their best to preserve what's left of the history. Not too many Peruvians know about this hidden gem. I highly encourage anyone who loves history period, to go and engulf yourself in this history.

Este museo Afroperuano es muy importante, especialmente para la comunidad afrodescendiente peruana. Es pequeño, aunque lleno de tanta historia. Fue una sensación increíble haber tenido la oportunidad de visitar este museo. De hecho, me dio escalofríos y me emocioné mucho en ciertas áreas del museo. Hacen todo lo posible para preservar lo que queda de la historia. No muchos peruanos saben acerca de esta joya escondida. Animo encarecidamente a cualquier persona que ame el período de la historia, a ir y envolverse en...
