Trujillo - Museo Cassinelli

Museo Cassinelli is a private collection of archeological artifacts on display in the basement of a Mobil gas station. Despite the less than spectacular setting, the museum is quite impressive. The collection was acquired over several decades by Sr. Cassinelli, primarily from grave robbers.

Some of the unique pieces on display include whistling pots, which sound a note when they are blown into. There is also a good collection of erotic pottery from the Moche culture. If you haven't seen examples of this elsewhere, this is worth seeing.

The Museo Cassinelli is located northwest of the Plaza de Armas, out past the Estadio Mansiche.
