Your tour starts with a pick-up from your hotel at 10am.
The MATE Mario Testino Museum is situated in the heart of the Barranco district of Lima. Now a flourishing cultural quarter, Barranco was historically a popular seaside resort and home to many of Peru’s most prominent intellectuals, a past reflected in its superb architecture.
MATE has written a new chapter in Barranco’s history by restoring a handsome 19th Century mansion to its former glory and is engaged in filling it once more with color and conversation.
The museum's collections run the gamut from the best in international contemporary art, to local artists looking to be discovered. Mario Testino himself has a permanent display of work, and also serves on the curatorial committee for all exhibitions.
At the end of the tour, you'll transfer back to your hotel.
