Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Il museo custodisce oltre 10.000 reperti antichi provenienti dalle civiltà Paracas, Nazca e Inca. Teschi allungati della cultura Paracas sono esposti accanto a ceramiche, tessuti e una sala dedicata alle misteriose linee di Nazca.
Punti salienti: Una sala espone oltre 300 teschi allungati con deformazione cranica, alcuni ancora con resti di capelli e tessuti molli dopo 2.000 anni. I fasci di mummie nella sala climatizzata mostrano intricate tecniche di avvolgimento tessile che hanno preservato materiale organico per secoli.
Consigli da insider
- Skip the first room of modern religious art and head straight to the archaeology halls on the upper floor.
- Look closely at the Nazca ceramic collection for vessels painted with surreal, hallucinogenic imagery that hint at shamanic rituals.
- Photography is allowed without flash in most halls, but the lighting is dim so bump up your ISO before shooting.
- Allow extra time for the garden courtyard where giant stone artifacts and carved monoliths are displayed outdoors.
