Maria Reiche was a German scientist who immigrated to Peru and spent the rest of her life--for a long time with the help of her sister--identifying and mapping the Nasca Lines. Her museum tells the story of her life, her work, and includes her room and the small cemetery where she and her sister are buried.

Maria Reiche was a German mathematician who studied the Nasca lines and drawings for many years. In this small museum you'll get some background information on her life and work.

We met Ms. Reiche a number of years ago when we first went to Nazca. An impressive person. Museum tells her story and the story (or a story) of the lines.

There are not too many museums and given this, museumlovers can go here. We found: poor objects, poor documentation but gives a view.

I tried to visit there on monday morning but sadly it was closed. It is kind of far away from city center. Also be aware of street dogs in nasca. they are fierce.

First of all, this and the entry for Museo Lineas de Nasca Centro Maria Reiche need to be merged as they are the same place.
This was a good little museum, not hard to find and easily reached by bus (Soyuz or another big bus company will probably be better than the little vans - we tried a van first and they tried to tell us the price was 10 soles from Nazca, which is clearly ridiculous. It was 3 soles with Soyuz, and much more comfortable). You can easily combine a trip here with a viewing from the mirador. The museum was an interesting tribute to Maria Reiche, but almost nothing was explained, so you really have to research the story beforehand or go with a guide if you want any clue what's happening. However, for 5 soles, it was worth the visit, and we were allowed to take photos. The exhibition of Nazca pots is also worthwhile, though again, little explanation is offered, and I would really like to know who the mummy is and what she's doing there. I wouldn't make this museum a priority when visiting Nazca, but it's definitely worth a stop if you have the time and interest.

Not entirely sure if it was worth the 5ish Sole it cost us each to take the 10 minutes it took to walk through this museum. I just figured we were helping the community. Our guide told us more about Mari than what we got from the museum however the mummy with the tattoos was a nice touch. Just make sure you don't take photos while inside.

If I got this right this is the lecture and slide show in the Nasca Lines hotel If not then sorry for bum info.
it was a 45 minute slide and film show in the planetarium of the hotel. Shows what a hard working lady she was and gave out some interesting theories on the lines.

We stopped here as part of a wider tour of the Nasca area. I found it not especially well presented, but quite interesting to see how she lived and good to see that her research and documentation of the lines are appreciated by the Peruvian people. It felt more like a tribute or memorial to Maria Reiche than an informative museum.

Not worth the hassle of getting out there from Nasca itself! Poor museum with little of interest inside. Terrible English translations of the already scant Spanish explanations. Creepy recreation of maria reich's living quarters and no real info on here theories about the lines.

Hola, estuve hace unos dias visitando Nasca y en el museo de Maria Reiche el guia que nos explico con detalles todo sobre las lineas y los estudios de la profesora nos recomendo un libro que el mismo tiene y que creo se llama Lineas de Nasca decodificads de Ferdinand Goodson, estoy interesado en adquirirlo y no he logrado encontrarlo en ningun sitio de la web, por favor si pueden informarme donde puedo hacerlo lo agradeceria
