The museum is dedicated to the life and work of Maria Reiche, a German-born mathematician and archaeologist who dedicated her life to the study of the ancient Nazca Lines. The museum is filled with artifacts from her life and research, including maps, photos, and tools used in her fieldwork. It was a great way to learn more about this incredible woman.
