Grant Description

To provide equipment for the proper storage and climate control for the Pre-Columbian collections in the San Marcos Archaeological Museum, located in a recently restored colonial mansion in downtown Lima.

The collection is especially valuable because objects have been scientifically looted, unlike most other Peruvian museums that mainly hold looted artifacts.
