TypePinacotheca

The Ignacio Merino Municipal Pinacotheca (Spanish: Pinacoteca Municipal Ignacio Merino), also known as the Pinacotheca of Lima (Spanish: Pinacoteca de Lima), is a pinacotheca housed in the Hospicio Manrique,[1] located at the Plaza Francia, part of the historic centre of Lima, Peru.

History[edit]

Inauguration in 1925.

The museum was inaugurated in 1925,[2] under the presidency of Augusto B. Leguía and under the mayoralty of Pedro José Rada y Gamio, as the Pinacoteca Municipal.[3] It is named after Peruvian painter Ignacio Merino, and also serves as the largest collection of his paintings.[3] However, the collection of Merino's works exists since 1876, when 56 paintings and a briefcase with other works were brought from ParistoLima, as per his will.[3]

In addition to Merino's works, it also houses paintings by Francisco Laso, Daniel Hernández Morillo, Teófilo Castillo, José Sabogal, Tilsa Tsuchiya, Ángel Chávez, Fernando De Szyszlo, and others.[3]

In 2020, Fernando Torres, cultural manager of the museum, announced that its collection would be moved to the Metropolitan Museum of Lima.[2] As of 2023, however, this has not yet taken place, as the museum continues to reside in the Plaza Francia.[4]
