Brüning Museum

The museum was constructed as a modern and functional facility, inspired by the works of the 20th-century French architect, Le Corbusier.

The more than 1500 pieces come from different indigenous cultures, including an invaluable textile collection and ceramics of Chimú and Vicús.

Thousands of golden objects are kept in sealed rooms, including funeral masks of copper, ceremonial vessels, an extraordinary necklace and jewelry of Mochica and Chimú cultures, as well as pieces of the Lambayeque culture.

In the gardens of the museum is a statue dedicated to the mythical figure of Naylamp, founder of the Lambayecanos Kings' dynasty.

The interior of the principal building is a sequence of four levels, which in total exhibit more than 1,400 archaeological pieces.
