Ancient artists. Extraordinary craftsmanship. Timeless stories.

Nearly 2,000 years ago, the Moche people of present-day Peru were creating some of the most remarkable ceramics in the ancient Americas.

Known for their incredible attention to detail, Moche artists crafted pottery depicting people, animals, and supernatural beings, including their distinctive stirrup-spouted vessels.

Each piece offers a fascinating glimpse into the beliefs, creativity, and daily lives of a civilization that flourished along Peru's northern coast from approximately 100 to 800 C.E.

Come experience these extraordinary works of art for yourself at MONAH. Thousands of years of history await discovery, and admission is always free!

Meet Ai Apaec, a fearsome figure from ancient Andean history!

With a menacing face, open mouth, and sharp fangs, Ai Apaec could certainly give some of our modern Halloween monsters a run for their money!

In Moche tradition, Ai Apaec was a complex figure, sometimes portrayed as a cultural hero and protector, other times as a destroyer. Both a giver and taker of life, he represented the powerful balance of opposing forces.

Think he sounds fascinating? Come see the ancient pottery sculptures believed to represent Ai Apaec, currently on display at the Museum of Native American History!

Admission is always free.
