National Museum of Ethnography and Folklore

Beautiful and well presented museum in the heart of La Paz. The exhibits are a combination of old and modern pieces and explains the history of the region through visual aids very well. The museum is all in Spanish which makes it difficult for someone who doesn’t speak the language to read the texts, but it’s not entirely necessary to understand what is going on. Downloading a translate app with the camera function could be helpful before visiting!

Excellent museum with rooms on different aspects of Bolivia culture. Really well set out . All in Spanish so take a translation app. Apparently they had WiFi

The museum sports an excellent collection of carneval masks, a small but interesting photo collection, a textile collection as well as pottery and coins. The museum is well worth a visit. A downside is, though, that the explanatory texts are exclusively in Spanish. I feel that translating at least some introductory texts into English would render the experience more accessible to foreign tourists as well.

A must visit museum if in La Paz. Well presented. Indeginious people were selling local produce on the Friday when we visited.

So charming - this should be your first stop to see the immense richness of Bolivia - all so wonderfully and lovingly put together!

This is a charming museum with a decent collection of Bolivian artefacts celebrating the diversity of the country. If you don’t speak Spanish (like me) you’ll have to use google translate for all of the exhibits.

A great museum of cultural history of Bolivia. Has 10 rooms with a variety of displays, including textiles, traditional clothing, feather art, ceramics, mining and metallurgy, and the banking coins/notes over time. The museum is entirely in Spanish, and costs 35Bolvianos for foreigners (extra 20 Bolivianos for photos).

Interesting story of early to colonial Bolivian life, however no translations available and no photographs allowed which when we tried to use our phone/google translate camera option we were jumped on like we had committed a heinous crime. Experience could have been so much better.
