Museum in Ica State, Peru.
A small private museum near the location of Paracas culture tombs found on and around Cerro Colorado. Highlights are the well preserved, bright textiles of these pre-Nazca peoples, and human remains showing the extreme body manipulations (skull elongations, trepanning) they practised.
This museum is found in the seaside village of Paracas and is owned by Juan Navarro. (Originally the Julio Tello Museum, highlighting the finds of the original excavator Tello, was sited in the Paracas Marine Reserve. However, the building was damaged by earthquake and is no longer open.)
