Trujillo - National University of Trujillo Archeological Museum

(Local Name: Museo de Arqueología de la Universidad Nacional de Trujillo) Trujillo's Archeological Museum, Museo de Arqueología de la Universidad Nacional de Trujillo, is run by the National University of Trujillo. Housed in the restored 17th Century colonial mansion, Casa Risco, the museum contains a rather small collection of pre-Columbian artifacts, from the Trujillo area. Many of the items were recovered from Huacas del Sol y de la Luna (Temples of the Sun and Moon) archeological sites. The museum also displays some murals which are replications of murals found at the site. The excavation of the Huacas del Sol y de la Luna is also discussed at the Archeological Museum.
