This museum collected by Mr Jose Cassinelli from local huaqueros. Don Jose's dream is to have a more appropriate and safer place for his museum, because this museum has suffered a robbery of 30 priceless archaeological pieces.
The Salinar, Viru, Mochica, Chimu, Nazca, Huari, Recuay and Inca cultures are all represented, with highlights including Mochica pots with graphic images of daily life, people, animals and anthropomorphic deities.
