Ica - Regional Museum

(Local Name: Museo Regional de Ica) The Museo Regional de Ica (Ica Regional Museum) is an interesting place to spend a couple of hours. On display are a variety of artifacts from the Paracas, Nazca, and Ica cultures. In addition to Paracas weaving and unique Nazca ceramics, are some well preserved mummies, including children and wildlife. Skulls on display show indications that trepanning, a form of surgery, was practiced by the Nazca. There are also small trophy heads, as well as wigs and hair-pieces.

The Museo Regional de Ica is located in an Ica suburb outside the city center. It is easily reach by collectivo or taxi.
