Lima's Museum of Archeology

Yesterday's blog reflection from Peru comes from Kim:

Today we went on our final delegation field trip together to El Museo Arqueológico (The Archeology Museum). There we learned about various Pre-Incan cultures thanks to Mr. Hoyle and to our tour guide. We were at the museum for about 2 hours. My favorite part was looking at the artwork created by the Chimu and Moche peoples, having studied their cultures in the past school year. I learned that the Chimu pottery resembled much of the Moche pottery. Precious metal and beautiful designs were incorporated into the pottery, which were then used as offerings to their gods. It was a very interesting museum!
