ROYAL TOMBS OF SIPAN MUSEUM

Latin America's most spectacular new museum is named "the Royal Tombs of Sipan", after the world-famous burial chambers discovered beneath ancient adobe pyramids on Peru's northwest coast. The three-story, six-million-dollar museum, which contains by far the greatest intact discovery of gold artifacts in the Americas, is shaped like the pre-Columbian pyramid where Peruvian archaeologists discovered this amazing tomb in 1987 (cover stories in National Geographic Magazine in December 1987 and March 1989).
