A one-of-a-kind gastro-museum

The Valdivia culture, one of oldest settled cultures recorded in the Americas, existed 8000-9000 years ago and left a legacy of archeological treasures. The Valdivia were known for developing incredible and distinctive pottery. We have collected two thousand artifacts that provide a rare window into the ways of life, gastronomy, and traditions of the deep past. Our vision is to reveal and elevate these objects through a world-class museum with participatory gastronomic learning experiences.
