Museo a cielo abierto
The Museo a cielo abierto is another unique museum with over 20 mural sections circling around alleys and streets of Cerro Bellavista, a few blocks down from the museo organológico. It started around 1992 (some dated to 1969) when a painter's workshop at the UCV university invited well acknowledged painters to design murals to paint walls around some alleys of the Bellavista Hill neighbourhood.
