Back by popular demand, Peruvian Nights at the Museum is an after-hours celebration of Andean culture. The Museum is open until 9pm with live music, Peruvian-inspired snacks, pisco sours and one last opportunity for after-hours access to our blockbuster exhibition Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru, which ends 11 May.

Everyone is welcome in the celebration of fin de fiesta, bringing together culture, history and archaeology, with crowd-favourite Peruvian ensemble Duo Jimenez returning to the Hintze Hall stage with support from special guest performers ALLY. The evening also shares the spirit of Carnaval, in an inspiring photo essay from Peruvian Australian photojournalist Isabella Melody Moore, World above, world below, which documents the cultural melding of Indigenous Andean traditions with Catholic influences in a unique celebration of life, fertility, and community.

With a pisco sours and a selection of Peruvian-inspired snacks from Cantina de Cusco on offer, join us on a journey to Peru in the heart of Sydney. Pre-purchase your Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru exhibition tickets and VR experience, or get your tickets at the door. General entry to the Australian Museum is free with no pre-booking required.
