Miraflores Municipal Gallery, Lima

Lima boasts a plethora of art galleries spread across the city, with the majority situated in the Barranco and Miraflores districts. These galleries showcase a diverse range of artwork, spanning from local talents to renowned international artists.

One such noteworthy gallery is the Miraflores Municipal Gallery, also known as Sala Luis Miró Quesada Garland. This establishment serves as a hub for contemporary art, with a primary focus on both individual and collective projects within the realm of visual arts. It operates under the auspices of the Cultural Department of the Municipal District of Miraflores in Lima.

The gallery's history traces back to its founding year in 1984, thanks to the vision of the esteemed art critic, Luis Lama. Originally known as the "Sala de Exhibitions de la Municipalidad de Miraflores," its inaugural exhibition took place on July 17, 1984, featuring a retrospective showcase of the works of artist David Herskovitz. Luis Miró Quesada Garland, a prominent collaborator with the Municipality of Miraflores, played a pivotal role in promoting the "Grupo Espacio" and emerged as one of Peru's most significant art critics.

Over the years, up to 2023, the Sala Luis Miró Quesada Garland has garnered an extensive and diverse audience, attracting an annual average of 100,000 visitors. This popularity can be attributed to its central location in Miraflores and the continuous presentation of captivating visual art exhibitions.
