Sightseeing Tour of Lima’s Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology |
|
|
From Nazca mummies to fine Paracas textiles, this museum will captivate you with Peru’s heritage!
| Overview | |
|
The Archaeological and Anthropological Museum houses one of the largest collections of artefacts from pre-Hispanic cultures in Peru. With displays specially dedicated to Peru’s lesser-known ancient civilizations such as the Paracas and Nazca, this tour will provide a fascinating platform to understand Peru’s intriguing and dynamic past. This museum is also Peru's grandest and biggest and contains the famous Estela Raymondi and the Tello Obelisk stones. These are two important carved stone pieces dating back to 1000 B.C. It also features the largest textile collection, with fabrics from the Pre-Ceramic period through the Inca Empire, and a major collection of ancient Peruvian metals. Offering insights into Peru’s richly textured history, this small but well laid out museum will captivate you with some of the finest relics of ancient civilizations.
