The Wonderful Tapestries of Maximo Laura

Maximo Laura is a world renown textile artist who was awarded the honor of “Amauta (Grand Master) and National Human Treasure” by the Peruvian government. In 1984 Laura began the collection and preservation of some of his tapestries. These works are considered to be his most important and richest artistic visions. In 1998 he began construction of the Home/Workshop Laura, a building of several floors located in Lima, where the artist’s private collection is permanently exhibited. This building became the first museum dedicated to contemporary Peruvian tapestry, and is the current main site of the MML - Museo Maximo Laura.
