Holograms, staged scenery and video projections tell the linked histories of Lima and Peru at the Metropolitan Museum of Lima (Museo Metropolitano de Lima). The story is narrated by the figures who shaped it, among them Viceroy Amat, Rose of Lima, Pancho Fierro, José Olaya, José de San Martín, Simón Bolívar, Ricardo Palma, Abraham Valdelomar and Miguel Grau. The displays span the pre-Hispanic, viceregal and republican eras across 27 projection rooms, with museographic direction by the filmmaker Luis Llosa.
The museum occupies a neoclassical building beside the Park of the Exhibition, designed by the French architect Claude Sahut and built in 1924. It once housed Peru's Ministry of Development and Public Works and is recognised as part of the cultural heritage of Peru. The museum opened on 10 October 2010.
Alongside the projection rooms, the building holds a temporary exhibition hall, the Municipal Library, the Historical Archive and the Taulichusco auditorium.
