It's not a big museum but you would be surprise to experience the artwork in Bolivia which is comparable to some similar type in Europe. A good visit! More

person found this review helpful

This incredible 3-story building, established by a local art collector and doctor, includes a truly remarkable array of Bolivian art. From the famous to the young from abstract to realist, the range of paintings and mediums is difficult to describe in words.

“Worth a visit”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 4, 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Definitely makes statements and it's cool to visit a building Eiffle designed. You'll spend about an hour here. More
