圣米格尔阿萨帕考古博物馆印象
-
There's a good display on North Chilean archaeology, well-described in English. There's also a very expensive-looking and generally very good display of the mummies, but without a word of English in sight!
-
We enjoyed this museum with our 3 year old daughter. There are programs available in English, as well as a host of other languages, which was great.Nice afternoon excursion from Arica in the olive filled Azapa Valley.
-
We were stunned to see the amazing exhibits of this museum, and to learn about the Chinchorros people... just amazing! We saw the conservation room where they keep the several hundreds mummies that predate Egyptian ones by over 2000 years!!! The museum is in two distinct buildings, the ones have the most mummies. There's a small petroglyphs exhibits in the garden. The grounds are beautiful and a great place for a picnic!A must if you are in the Azapa Valley!

As a small museum run by the local university, this institution cannot compete with larger archaeology museums in Peru and elsewhere except for the remains from the Chinchorros. This culture goes back thousands of years in this region, little known.
-
This museum is situated 12 kilometres from Arica. You can either rent a bike and go there yourselve (1,5 hours) or take a taxi (4 euros). The museum has two buildings, and you will get a leaflet with a lot of information about the artifacts in the museum. Worth a visit if you are interested in these older cultures. Apart from the textiles and usual shards, they also have several mummies on display, which is very interesting.
-
I note that one reviewer seems to have missed that the mummies are housed in a separate building. Be sure to see these and keep your tickets to allow you to go in.The main museum is very well laid out and is a tribute to the Universidad de Tarapaca who are responsible for it. Often display values are not of the best in museums, but here everything is very well displayed.Many will come to see the mummies, now only ten yerars after their excavation. These are very well displayed and the associated artefacts are fascinating. Don't just buy some of the local olives (but do this also) - see this museum.
-
If you have time definitely go. It is a little out of the way but still worth it. Very cool mummies that date back farther than Egyptian times if I remember correctly.
-
Although a little bit in the middle of nowhere the museum is worth a visit. You find a lot of information there about earliest settlements in the Americas and lifestyles of former generations. All descriptions are written in English, too.
-
The main museum is a fascinating (for an ex-archaeologist!) collection of artifacts which we are pretty much unaware of if you come from an European background. The new block for the Chinchorro mummies displays them in a very spectacular fashion although their childlike bodies and caring funeral traditions (even an embryo is mummified) evoke strangely protective emotions. Worth visiting Colon 10 to see them lying in situ under reinforced glass (though it is a bit disconcerting walking over them)

The archeological museum of San Miquel de Azapa outside of Arica contains the world's oldest mummies which predate the well known Egyptian ones. In addition, the museum was built where there was an old olive press which couldn't be moved and that too is imPressive.
