A woman passionately kisses a corpse in an ancient relic on display in the Larco Museum in Lima, Peru.
Larco Museum is packed with archaeological treasures from Peruvian pre-Columbian history, but many are guaranteed to make you blush.
The museum’s Erotic Gallery features a huge number of artworks devoted to reproduction and fertility.
But while fertility images are common in pre-Columbian art, many of the ceramic artefacts in Larco Museum depict non-reproductive sexual acts… and a bewildering number of horny skeletons.
Larco Museum’s erotic collection is strange and fascinating. But it also gives visitors a new perspective on Peruvian history, so you can better understand what pre-Columbian civilizations thought about nature, the divine and each other.
