Area Attractions: Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru


 

On Saturday, October 16th, the eagerly anticipated Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru opens its inaugural stop of the upcoming global tour at the Boca Raton Museum of Art

The world premiere engagement will encompass the entire museum. This exhibition features the most impressive collection of Andean gold and silver artifacts to ever travel the world, alongside technological breakthroughs in virtual reality.

After its limited run in Boca Raton, the exhibition will leave the U.S. to embark on an international tour. Tickets at BocaMuseum.org/Golden.

This all-new, immersive museum experience will transport visitors to the jewel of the only cradle of civilization in the Southern Hemisphere, the Incan city of Machu Picchu ‒ voted one of the new seven wonders of the world.

Many of these stunning 192 priceless artifacts are from royal tombs, including spectacular objects that belonged to noble Andean lords, some of which have never-been-seen before out of Peru.

The experience will also feature the first-ever virtual reality expedition of Machu Picchu, recorded in 2020 during the unprecedented closure of the site during the pandemic.

It was the first time in recent history this majestic City in the Sky was completely empty, filmed using state of the art drone-VR technology.
