An archaeological museum must find the delicate balance between heritage conservation of the material on display and its exhibition to the public. A site museum, like the Paracas museum, is faced with the additional challenge of having to be integrated into the landscape that was the birthplace of this culture, and which is now part of the most important biological and landscape reserves in the Peruvian coastal desert.
