The Pedro de Osma Museum is a cultural institution located in the Barranco district of Lima, Peru.

The museum houses one of Lima's strongest collections of viceregal art, spanning the colonial period when Peru was governed by Spanish viceroys. This encompasses paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts from the 16th through 18th centuries. The collection includes works from the Cuzco School of painting, notable for its distinctive fusion of European religious iconography with Andean artistic traditions. Furniture, silverwork, and textiles complement the visual arts holdings. The mansion's original rooms provide period-appropriate settings for displaying these objects, creating an integrated experience of art and architectural context. PEN 30.

Visitors should allocate sufficient time to appreciate both the viceregal art collection and the historic mansion's architectural features. A thorough visit would include examining the paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, and the building's interior details such as furnishings and room configurations. The museum's relatively contained scale compared to major national institutions suggests a visit can be completed in a focused half-day or less, though art historians and enthusiasts may prefer extended examination. The combination of permanent collection and historic house museum qualities rewards unhurried exploration. About 30 minutes before closing.
