  • Wow this museum has a great and vast collection of art pieces. I was really impressed. Super interesting and educational. 100% worth a visit. Also the handmade items there are absolutely amazing and worth buying. Super high quality. If I could I’d give 10 stars :)
  • Amazing museum of the Arte Indígena in Bolivia. You have to pay and entrance fee of 11-25 bolivianos depending if you are national or foreigner. There is no pictures allowed inside the museum. It has 9 rooms full of different colorful textiles. Beautiful exhibition!
  • I really loved this museum. It is original in content and layout, and remains authentic to its history. As a self-guided expo, you can take as much time as you'd like. The shop next to it offers hand-made textiles and is a non-profit. We bought our most treasured items from there!
  • Very interesting exposition however not very interactive so it is pretty demanding as yiu need to read very long descriptions from the guide they give you
  • Interesting museum. Alot bigger than it first appears. There are clean bathrooms. There are guidebooks in many languages that you can use to understand what you are looking at. All items are numbered and easy to find in the book. Free coffee or tea.
