Museums

When you visit the city of Nazca, we highly recommend you to visit the Museum Antonini, located just few blocks from down town. The Antonini museum displays ancient remains from the Nazca Culture found at the archaeological site of Cahuachi. For over 20 years Italian Archaeologist Giusepe Orefeci has been working at this ceremonial site and has found several interesting remains, including well preserve mummies, colorful ceramics, textiles, weapons, and many other relics, which can be seen at the museum. At the site archaeologists also have found the rest of great pyramyds and temples, which are being reconstructed today. Cahuachi is very important, as this was the ancient capital of the Nazca culture, the people who are credited for the creation of the Nazca Lines. Archaelogist are pretty sure that the key to solve the mystery of the Nazca Lines lies under the temples of Cahuachi. Don't miss this museum if you are in Nazca.
