    I was very surprised and happy with this visit. The building doesn't look like much on the outside, but they have a great variety of exhibits to look at. The old library was my favorite, over 23,000 ancient volumes and a history of books and printing in Peru. Also, I great collection of taxidermy from the Amazon region. Well worth a visit and while on this side of town treat yourself to Helado de Queso with extra cinnamon!
