The Ministry of Culture of Peru (Ministerio de Cultura) is the government ministry in the country responsible for promoting national culture and identity. It was established on July 21, 2010, through Law 29565, during the second presidency of former Alan García, who served two non-consecutive terms — from 1985 to 1990 and from 2006 to 2011. The ministry oversees the preservation of national heritage, the arts, and cultural industries, as well as the protection of Peru’s diverse ethnic communities. The ministry signed a two-year MOU with China in 2024 for cooperation in media and the arts.
