Winning entries in Cuzco’s annual Popular Art competition are displayed in this engaging museum (basement, Av El Sol 103; admission with boleto turístico; h9am-6pm Mon-Sat, 8am-1pm Sun).

This is where the artisans and artists of San Blas strut their creative stuff in styles rang- ing from high art to cheeky cute, offering a fascinating, humorous take on ordinary life amid the pomp and circumstance of a once- grandiose culture. Small-scale ceramic models depict drunken debauchery in the picantería (local restaurant), torture in the dentist’s chair, carnage in the butcher shop, and even a caesarean section.

There’s also a display of photographs, many by renowned local photographer Martín Chambi, of Cuzco from the 1900s to the 1950s, including striking images of the aftermath of the 1950 earthquake in familiar streets.
