Om
Hurtige fakta: Museet ligger i et kolonialt palæ fra det 17. århundrede, der engang tilhørte spansk adel. Samlingen spænder over 10.000 års regional historie, fra præinka-stenudskæringer til uhyggelig kolonial religiøs kunst.
Højdepunkter: Gemt i et stille hjørne rummer et enkelt værelse Carlos Dreyers egen samling af guld- og sølvgenstande, som han selv udgravede fra de nærliggende Sillustani-gravtårne. Lyset fanger det polerede metal på en helt bestemt måde og afslører indviklede geometriske mønstre, som Qulla-folket hamrede ind i brystplader og kroner for over 800 år siden.
Insidertips
- The creepy "child mummy" on the second floor has a backstory card worth reading, it was actually a sacrificial offering found perfectly preserved near the Uros Islands.
- Bring a small flashlight to better see the detail on the dark colonial paintings in the stairwell, the lighting is notoriously dim.
- Skip the modern art wing on the top floor unless you have extra time, the true highlights are the pre-Columbian and colonial exhibits.
- Ask the front desk if the courtyard fountain is running, the sound of trickling water makes the cloister a perfect 10-minute rest stop.
