Chan Chan, Archaeological museum in Huanchaco, Peru
The Chan Chan museum showcases archaeological findings, including wooden idols, ceramics, textiles, and metalwork discovered within the ancient adobe city complex.
The museum building, inaugurated in 1990 through a donation from Brazil's Emilio Odebrecht Foundation, stands near the archaeological site of the former Chimu capital.
The exhibition halls present the pre-Hispanic cultural development of La Libertad Department, from early stone tools to Moche and Chimu civilization ceramics.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with admission fees ranging from 1 to 11 Peruvian soles depending on visitor category.
Every thirty minutes, the museum's computerized interpretation room presents Chan Chan's history through synchronized light and sound effects with detailed slides.
