The exhibition's highlights are 90 original gold items on loan from the Museo de Oro in Lima, Peru.
This unique compilation of the Incas’ wealth shows masks, mugs, bowls and jewelleries made of solid gold dating from 400 BC to 1,500 AD.
The golden exhibits are aglow with a magic darkness. Coca bags and enormous beer mugs bear witness to hallucinogenic ceremonies. Great burial objects give an idea of the rulers’ importance.
The exhibition takes place on the renowned and prestigious premises of Prague Castle. It is open every day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
