The Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum is an exact sepulchral replica of the burial
chamber of the Lord of Sipán, an ancient Mochica ruler of the 3rd century. The
museum has three levels where more than 2,000 pieces of gold and silver work,
jewelry, ceramics and grave goods are exhibited and protected.
Among the most important vestiges and cultural pieces that belonged to this ruler
of ancient Peru, the following stand out: ornaments, emblems, costumes, copper
banners, copper crown, shell pectorals, gold and turquoise earmuffs, gold rattles
and ornaments of pens.
The architectural design of the museum is inspired by the ancient conical
pyramids of the Mochica culture. And access to the interior of the museum is
through a 58-meter ramp that leads to the third floor.
The guided tour of the museum is descending, from top to bottom,
simulating the experience of the explorers of Sipán. On the third floor,
general information about the Mochica culture is offered: territory,
social organization, agriculture, important monuments and distribution
of the Sipán sanctuary. On the second floor, information is provided on
the discovery and excavation of the tomb of the Lord of Sipán.
Finally, in the last section of the visit, when the traveler thinks they
have already visited all the enclosures, the doors that open give way to
the Royal House of the Lord of Sipán.
