Lonely Planet review for Museo de Arte Popular
Winning entries in Cuzco’s annual Popular Art competition are displayed in this engaging museum. This is where the artisans and artists of San Blas strut their creative stuff in styles ranging from high art to cheeky cute, offering a fascinating, humorous take on ordinary life amid the pomp and circumstance of a once-grandiose culture. Small-scale ceramic models depict drunken debauchery in the picantería (local restaurant), torture in the dentist’s chair, carnage in the butcher shop, and even a caesarean section.
