Pre-Colombian Museum of Anthropology and Agriculture

Sunflower Updated
Address
Calle Camilo Carrillo 300
District
  • Jesus Maria
City (Peru)
Lima

Located in the "Centro de Investigaciones de Zonas Aridas de la Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina", the museum exhibits ancient tools of historical and cultural value. The main aim is to gather, classify, study and display these archeological pieces.

So we today can learn how early cultures used their skills to adapt to their harsh environment and cultivate the dry coastal area and the semi dry Andes region.
