Long after the last public visitor has left, the Amano Textile Museum opens its doors for something considerably more intimate. The curator leads a private tour through a collection that spans thousands of years of pre-Columbian weaving - textiles so technically complex and visually arresting that they routinely stop textile scholars in their tracks.
Then comes the vault. The pieces held here are not on public display - they are reserved for researchers and conservationists, and the access granted this evening is genuinely rare. Fabrics that survived centuries in the Peruvian earth, their colors and patterns still legible, handled and explained by the person who knows them best.
Crafted cocktails bring the evening to an unhurried close - a moment to absorb what you have just seen before stepping back out into Lima's night.
