Date: 22/06/2010
An on-site museum displaying ancient ruins and artifacts of the Mochica culture is set to open in Trujillo, La Libertad, this Thursday June 24 in a bid to educate visitors about Moche traditions and history.
Universidad Nacional de Trujillo Rector Orlando Velasquez Benitez said local authorities are finalizing details regarding the internal layout and technical equipment of "this state-of-the-art museum."
The six-hectare museum will include several exhibition areas, an amphitheater, a research center, a photo gallery and multimedia displays.
"It will have a modern air conditioning system, saving 90 percent of energy consumption,” he said.
At this museum visitors will be able to appreciate several artifacts and tombs of the Mochica Culture which ruled Northern Peru about 1700 years ago.
