FLORIDA, Oct 20 ― There's no need to go to Peru to admire the golden treasures of Machu Picchu. The Boca Raton Museum of Art in Florida has gathered nearly 200 such artefacts together in an exhibition titled “Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru.” It is also accompanied by an immersive augmented reality experience.

For the occasion, history buffs will be able to admire 192 objects, many of which come from Andean royal tombs. Among them is a completely intact gold attire of a Chimú emperor, dating back to 1300 A.D. Some of these artifacts have never been exhibited outside of Peru, according to the Boca Raton Museum of Art. Visitors will be guided through the exhibition by the mythical hero Ai Apaec, as much feared as revered by the Mochica people.
