Peru's Newly-Opened Gastronomy Museum Offers Free Admission In April


ANDINA. The House of Peruvian Gastronomy, a newly-opened museum spanning thousands of years of the country's culinary history, will offer free admission the entire month of April.

The museum, which was once Lima's main post office, will be open Tuesday through Sunday from 09.00 to 17.00.

The House of Peruvian Gastronomy was formally inaugurated by President Alan Garcia but it was not until this days that this fascinating, partly interactive museum opened its doors to the public.

The roughly one hour-long tour shows visitors why the Peruvian cuisine is becoming increasingly popular across the globe.

Located a few meters from the Government Palace and in front of the Municipal Palace, the museum has four rooms including one dedicated to Peru's national drink, Pisco.
