  Great place to learn about the different cultures of indigenous people that lived in the area throughout history! Very cool how they preserved so many items. You will see a lot of shiny gold! & get a glimpse of how they lived as a society.

  A very large quantity of articles dating back maybe a thousand years. The intricate design of these pieces is amazing and they give info on each article in Eng.and Spanish. It gives you a view into how the people lived here years ago.
