Machu Picchu is one of the most awe-inspiring sites on earth and will be showcased at the Australian Museum’s (AM) summer highlight: Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru.
The exhibition will open in Sydney on Saturday, November 23, with tickets now on sale.
The immersive museum experience which spill the secrets of five ancient Peruvian Empires, dating back more than 3000 years.
Created by Peru’s Museo Larco and Museo de Sito Manuel Chavez Ballon, in conjunction with Neon Global, the exhibition features 134 priceless artefacts including gold treasure from royal tombs, glittering jewels, intricate masks and objects of worship.
Visitors will also be able to enjoy the Virtual Reality experience Machu Picchu and the Spirit of the Condor, which includes a bird’s-eye tour of Machu Picchu while sharing the intriguing story of grand Inca emperor Pachacuti.
Australian Museum Director and CEO, Kim McKay AO, said the venue is honoured to host the collection, including the most opulent collection of Andean gold to ever travel outside of Peru.
“One of the Seven Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu is a top bucket-list destination for many Australians, and this exhibition will further inspire visitors with its state-of-the-art storytelling alongside treasures from these intriguing ancient empires,” she said.
The exhibition is exclusive to the Australian Museum and Sydney will be only the fourth city in the world to host it, following in the footsteps of Boca Raton, Florida; Paris and Milan.
The Australian consul-general of Peru, José Alberto Ortiz, said the exhibition will contribute to the cultural connection between Peru and Australia.
“I’m delighted that the Australian Museum will be hosting this exhibition highlighting the rich history and culture of ancient Peru, enabling the people of NSW and beyond to experience Machu Picchu and all our country has to offer,” he said.
“I know the public will be captivated by our unique culture dating back more than 3000 years and will be fascinated by the stories of five empires which are still present in our country today.”
The previous AM blockbuster, Ramses and the Gold of the Pharaohs, set new attendance records for the museum during its six-month run from November 2023-May 2024, attracting over half a million ticket sales.
Ticket prices start at $37.50 for adults, and $20 for children, with VR tickets from $22. Visit Australian Museum.
