Over 95,000 people visited Machu Picchu exhibition in first week




(ANDINA). Over 95,000 Peruvians and foreign tourists visited the exhibition of archaeological treasures from Machu Picchu at the Government Palace in Lima. The exhibition features some of the artifacts used by the Incas in their daily life, ceremonies and productive activities during ancient times, said the presidential press office.


It is open from 09:00 to 20:00 at Tupac Amaru Hall and is guided by specialized staff members from the Ministry of Culture, the Presidency and the Tourism Police. The artifacts, which include ceramics, skeletal remains, stones and metal objects which were used by the Incas, are part of the first batch returned by Yale University some days ago. The "Machu Picchu, after 100 years: The reunion” exhibition will be open to the public until Sunday, April 17.
