"In this exhibition, we bring together the collections of 14 Peruvian museums, including the National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology, History, and the Inca Museum, and select 168 precious exhibits reflecting the Inca Empire and the Andean civilization.

In an interview with the cover news reporter, she revealed the highlights of the exhibition that will be presented to the audience.
The scene of the exhibition
When people think of Peru, people often think of the mysterious golden empire of the Incas, but long before the Inca Empire flourished, a rich and colorful civilization was already flourishing in the Andes. Shi Xiaoyao said that the Inca civilization was the pinnacle of the development of the Andean civilization, but before that, various civilizations of all sizes appeared in the Andes. "The Inca civilization also developed on the basis of the civilizations of the various regions of the Andes, and it inherited the traditions of many regions. ”
For this reason, in the first part of the exhibition, visitors can experience the Moche culture, which is known as the "blooming flower of classical culture" in the Andean region, the Nazca culture, which is famous for its colorful pottery, textiles, and large-scale paintings, and the Wari culture......, which improved the city's construction with a rigorous checkerboard layout, and the second part of the exhibition, which focuses on the glorious epic of the Inca Empire. Shi Xiaoyao also "spoiled", in addition to wood, pottery, and gold, there will also be a mummy on display. "When it is launched, I will reveal it to you. ”

Beautifully painted clay pots, uniquely shaped gold objects, and intricate statues on clay vases...... In the exhibition hall, although all the cultural relics have not yet been placed in place, from some of the exhibits that have been presented, you can already feel the dazzling light of these precious cultural relics in terms of historical, scientific and artistic value.
Draw an arc on the earth, and the distance from Chengdu to the city of Cusco, Peru, is almost half a circle around the earth. So how can the audience in the land of abundance experience the brilliant civilization from the other side of the world? Shi Xiaoyao said that this exhibition also has many highlights in the form of exhibition.
"First of all, the exhibition is dedicated to the restoration of Machu Picchu, through various light boxes and interactive installations, to show the face of this World Heritage Site. Machu Picchu, known as the "Lost Inca City", means "ancient mountain" and is perhaps the most recognizable relic in Peru. But Cusco, in southern Peru, was once the legendary capital of the Inca Empire, Shi said. "At the entrance to the second unit, we made a video that tells the layout of the city of Cusco. In addition, we have designed a lot of interactions around the exhibition line, so that the audience can learn more about the whole picture of the Inca Empire and feel the foreign civilization. ”
According to reports, the exhibition will last from January 10 to April 10, 2024. During the exhibition, visitors can immerse themselves in the grandeur of the Inca Empire through a variety of interesting interactive experiences, digital dynamics, and light and shadow art installations. In addition, the Jinsha Site Museum will hold a variety of activities and lectures with innovative content to bring visitors a feast of culture.
