Museo Metropolitano de Lima

This guide to the Museo Metropolitano de Lima follows the strange math behind a museum that cost 35 million soles yet displays none of the roughly 800 real paintings the city already owned. It traces how a former 1924 ministry building became, under Mayor Luis Castañeda in 2010, a timed circuit of holograms and projection rooms staged by filmmaker Luis Llosa, retelling ten thousand years of the city's history in light instead of canvas.
