Virreinal Art Museum, Church and Carmelite
Convent. Constructed in 1710. Located in Melgar N° 303 (street) in
Arequipa city. Daily visits from 9 am to 4:30 pm - admission S/. 10 (US $ 3.30
aprox).
After almost 300 years of foundation, it is opened to the public since 2001. It
leaves for the first time from this monumental architectonic set, to show the
treasures kept throughout its three centuries of existence. More than three
hundred works of art they are displayed in its twelve gallery rooms. Some rooms
show their original style since still they are in use on the part of the nun to
certain hours of the day. Other rooms display a thematic organization. Before
visiting the monastery a return by the Room of Interpretation puts in key for
the understanding of the techniques and materials to us used in the art of the
virreinal period. The collections are varied: colonial-era paintings,
sculptures, murals, metalworks, gold and silver jewels of religious art, and
objects of daily use, all of them corresponding ones to centuries XVI, XVII and
XVIII. |
