The Sicán Museum, Lambayeque Peru.

The Sicán Museum, Lambayeque Peru.

The Sican Museum is located in Ferreñafe, about 25 minutes from the city of Chiclayo. It shows the different aspects of daily life of the Sican culture; including pottery making and metal crafts. In addition, the Sican Museum has an interesting display of the tombs of the Sican nobility. The Sican Culture The name Sicán, refers to the culture that flourished in the Lambayeque region in about 750 AD. This culture traces its roots in the local Mochica culture and to other contemporary cultures such as the Cajamarca, Wari, and Pachacamac. Sican is NOT the same as Sipán, which is another important archaeological site of the Mochica or Moche culture. Tourists often confuse the two.
