    (Translated by Google) It shows that it was made by Japanese. Very illustrative and with good technology. I recommend visiting it yes or yes. It is well illustrated and the nail heads you will find there with all its dimension. Very bad supervision that the right thing is delivered to the tourist. For example, the day I visited it, the projectors did not activate and there was no one to claim. The projections allow us to understand details of this culture. The staff didn't care at all. And a very bad deal. (Original) Se nota que fue hecho por Japoneses. Muy ilustrativo y con buena tecnología. Recomiendo visitarlo si o si. Está bien ilustrado y las cabezas clavas las encontrarás ahí con toda su dimensión. Muy mala supervisión que se le entregue lo correcto al turista. Por ejemplo el día que.lo visité no activaron los proyectores y no había nadie a quien reclamar. Las proyecciones permiten entender detalles de esta cultura. Al personal no le importaba en lo absoluto. Y un trato muy malo.

    The Museo Nacional Chavín would likely showcase artifacts, exhibits, and information related to the ancient Chavin culture. The Chavin civilization was known for its unique artistic style, religious practices, and architectural achievements, so the museum would likely highlight these aspects. Visitors to the museum would have the opportunity to view a range of artifacts, including ceramics, sculptures, textiles, and tools, which would provide insights into the daily life, religious beliefs, and technological advancements of the Chavin people. The exhibits might also include reconstructions or replicas of Chavin temples, showcasing their distinctive architectural features and symbolism. The museum would likely offer informational displays, interactive exhibits, and multimedia presentations to educate visitors about the history, archaeology, and significance of the Chavin culture. It might also provide explanations of the various archaeological sites associated with the Chavin civilization, including the notable site of Chavin de Huantar. In addition to the exhibits, the Museo Nacional Chavín might offer guided tours, educational programs, and possibly workshops or demonstrations where visitors can learn about Chavin art techniques or cultural practices.

    Very wonderful place every one should visit the place

  • 1/5 Rieneke L. 4 years ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Extremely disappointed...they dare to take our ticket and then tell us only two rooms are open since they don't have light.. I didn't come here to see a bunch of primitive colonial style portraits and a collection of simple pottery - maybe there was detail but that remained hidden in the dark. I asked my ticket back, but have no idea when the exhibition will be visible again

    The ruins here at Chavin are incredible. This was a pre-inca civilization. They believe the Chavin people taught the Inca how to sand or carve the stones that eventually led to the building of Machu Picchu. The ruins at chain are under ground. It is incredible what was built here.
