Hakkında
Hızlı bilgiler: The museum safeguards over 10,000 ancient artifacts spanning Paracas, Nazca, and Inca civilizations. Elongated skulls from the Paracas culture sit alongside pottery, textiles, and a room dedicated to the mysterious Nazca Lines.
Öne çıkanlar: A hall displays over 300 elongated skulls with cranial deformation, some still retaining remnants of hair and soft tissue after 2,000 years. The mummy bundles in the climate-controlled room show intricate textile wrapping techniques that have preserved organic material for centuries.
İçeriden ipuçları
- 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.
