New site museum will be built in Trujillo

The new museum is part of the project for the research and recovery of the “huacas” El Sol and La Luna, archaeological sites that represent the capital of the Moche Culture. Construction will be done in an area of 35,000 square meters and it will include an amphitheater for an audience of 500 people.

Work in the project began in April 2008. On the ceremony where the first-stone was placed in the site, the president of Peru, Alan Garcia Perez, gave the good news that the huacas will soon become a world heritage, thus supporting the conservation and research of the Moche and Chimu civilizations.
