The Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum near Chiclayo is a must-visit if you love history and archaeology. The pyramid-style architecture itself reflects the ancient Moche culture, and inside you walk through the story of the Lord of Sipán step by step, from excavation to the stunning treasures found in his tomb. The gold, silver, ceramics, and textiles give a deep insight into the artistry and beliefs of the Mochica civilization. The museum is very well maintained — clean, organized, and carefully curated with proper lighting and security that protect these priceless artifacts. The exhibits are presented with respect and detail, making it easy to appreciate the importance of this culture in Peru’s history. Some explanations are only in Spanish and weekends can be a bit crowded, but overall it is one of the best museums in Peru and highly recommended 😊😊😊

Visited this great museum in March this year. It’s a fantastic experience. Well worth a visit if you’re nearby

Be prepared to spend a lot of time looking around it's a very impressive museum and well thought out

Really well presented, the artifacts are fasincating and you'll get a lot out of it if you're an enthusiast or casual history fan. It has great english translations for the first couple of rooms and then they abruptly stop and don't reappear for the rest of the museum.

Excellent museum. Make sure to put personal belongings in locker as they do not allow large bags. Pay for a guide or you will not get the full experience. A must see in peru. I was lucky enough to be there for thier 35 year anniversary today.

Beautiful museum, with amazing exhibits, really enjoyed, paid extra for a guided tour, but unfortunately the English speaking guide, spoke hardly any English. Very few of the exhibits had English explanations. But I still enjoyed my time here

Unexpectedly amazing. Probably the most complete archaeological museum I've ever been to. Storyline is very well done and items are kept on careful display. You will be amazed here. I do hope the museum will translate more of the information to English. It seemed they stopped doing that somewhere halfway, which is a shame!

Lambayeque’s first museum, great experience, the museum has three floors and great figurines that tell an amazing story!

A well-laid out museum with some nice selection of Pre-Colombian artifacts across a large period of time. There are three floors to view, and all of the signs are in Spanish, so it helps if you can read some. The array of ceramics is quite impressive from the different time periods are quite impressive, as well as the well-preserved mummified remains on display. I tend to tour museums slower than almost anyone I know, and this only took 1.5 hours. If you can't read Spanish, and decide to visit here, you could view the whole place in 45 minutes or less. The entry cost is 8 soles. There was a fun display of fertility and sexuality artifacts while we visited as well (adults only it said).

The Bruning Museum, though overshadowed by it's more illustrious neighbors, is still well worth a visit. What it lacks in shear quantity of gold and treasure it makes up for in the way it contextualizes the artifacts and history of the region. The collection is fascinating and beautiful and is organized so as to elucidate the succession of cultures and the ways in which they were influenced by their predecessors and neighbors. The museum also shows photographs and diagrams of how the artifacts were found and excavated. Very informative!

This is another museum to visit in Lambayeque. It's near the Royal Tombs Museum and you can find a lot of pieces belonging to the Mochica culture.

Incredible collection of the cultures of these lands , amazed !

Very interesting museum, featuring finds from a nearby "Huaca" site. My favorites were a masterpiece gold earring from the Lambayeque civilization and earlier ceramics from Moche culture using animal forms as pottery tops. Cool!

Interesting museum that compliments the Sipan museum.

We caught a combi to Tucume from Lambayeque and then walked to the museum. After a long and very hot walk we arrived at the museum and were told the site is closed due to the rains, and only the museum was open, but without a discount in price. There was no way to view the pyramids up close. Then we couldn't find a moto to take us back to town, so we had another long walk back. I wouldn't recommend visiting unless you can confirm the site is open.

The museum is open. The rest seems to be closed. Or guide would not let us go close to the pyramides. They where closed?? This looks like a place that is not operating on a good tourist level. Disappointing.

Real good museum about the history of the region. Signage in both English and Spanish and the old pyramids are absolutely breathtaking. Spent 1 hour in the museum and 2 hours walking around the pyramids. Don’t forgot to go to the mirador and see the hairless dogs indigenous to the area. Highly recommend. It’s S2.5 combi ride from Chiclayo and S3 motortaxi ride once you get to Tucume to the museum.

Interesting things tying together the present and past. And everything was in English too!

Its a small museum but nice. Start here before going to the pyramid and mirador.

Some reproductions & much original artifacts. Lots of good signage on BOTH Spanish and English.

Excelente para aprender historia. This is specifically for children
