Museo del Tesoro, Sucre

We took a guided tour in English with Luigi and it was amazing! Lots to learn about history, politics, geography, geology etc and a wonderful collection of artefacts to view too! Not just for jewellery lovers! Cafe was closed at time of our visit but there is seating and bathrooms and a gift shop.

Very interesting museum on Bolivia’s mining history, metals, minerals and gems. The museum is guided and my guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made it a five star experience for me! Definitely worth checking out when you’re in Sucre.

A pretty nice, albeit small, set of exhibits outlining the history of mineral and precious metal mining in Bolivia. To see the exhibits, there is only the 30-40 min long guided tour, which costs 25 Bolivianos per person. On my tour, my guide's English was a bit spotty but generally understandable, though Spanish-speaking visitors are sure to get more from the experience in that language. The museum is clean and nicely organized, displaying an array of Bolivian treasures and their origin. Though nothing absolutely extraordinary, it is a nice museum worth visiting if you are in the city. Also, photography of the inside of the museum is now prohibited, but apparently you can ask to license some pictures for free from the museum if you email.

Fun tour that gives a history of Bolivian silver, gold and gem stone mining. Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and explained how all the different gem stones formed in the geological formations as well as the history of silver and gems in local dress.

This museum seemed interested and we took the guided tour in english. Unfortunately the tour guide could not have been less interested in giving the tour... She was sighing A LOT, was obviously in a rush and was talking very fast. Because of the fast talking and the very strong accent, we had a hard time understanding the explanations. She was rushing us from one room to another and actually we were as relieved as her when we were done.
