Peru museum simulated security, protecting visitors and artifacts

The Museo Tumbas Reales de Sipán conducted a preventative drill to assess its ability to protect visitors and cultural artifacts from potential threats. The drill successfully tested security protocols. The drill, involving the National Police's elite tactical unit, simulated a threat and resulted in the "arrest" of two individuals attempting to steal artifacts. Officials highlighted the rapid police response time and the importance of protecting cultural sites. The museum also announced free admission today, July 6, coinciding with Teacher's Day, expecting over 4,000 visitors across six local museums. This event reflects growing cultural interest in the region.
