Museum!

Lima, Peru

Peru Timeline Plaza de armas in Lima

I forget what's the name of the museum we went to at the city center in Lima... The museum was pretty good though in showing arts/timelines of the different "groups" that ruled in Peru leading up to the Incas. There are tons of potteries there that are quite interesting and I wouldn't know what it's used for unless it was written on the cards on the display... hehe!

Burial Mask

This is a burial mask made of gold in the museum. Pretty neat huh? Too bad there was not too many Inca gold there since they said most of it was melted/taken by the Spaniards. The only Inca gold we saw at the museum were tiny trinkets.
