Lambayeque - Museo Archeológico Nacional Bruning

Museo Archeológico Nacional Bruning, named after a German-Peruvian collector, was established in 1925 in Lambayeque. At one time it held the treasures discovered at Sipán which are now at the Museo Tumbas Reale.

The museum currently displays artifacts from the Chimú, Moche, Chavín and Vicus cultures. The collection includes gold masks from Batán Grande, musical instruments from Túcume and some unique ceramic pieces. Almost more interesting than the artifacts themselves is the description on how the ceramics and metal works were crafted.

The Museo Bruning is worth visiting if you have spare time, although it may be a disappointment after visiting the Museo Tombas Reales.
