Larco Museum - wonderful experience - We had a wonderful tour. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable. She was able to bring the history of the ceramics and other artifacts to life. We never would have learned so much about the stories behind the artifacts without hearing about it. Just reading the info the museum provided was not enough to tell learn about the meanings behind the objects.

Take Much More Away From Your Visit - Pamela was an incredible guide. While the Larco Museum is on the smaller side, there is still so much to take in. Without a guide, it would perhaps be able to glaze over after seeing so many works. Pamela was able to take us through each portion of the museum at the perfect pace: making sure we had enough time in each room, yet moving us along so we had the energy to get through everything. The rich context she was able to bring to what we were saying completely changed our experience. Highly recommend.
