Sobre
Fatos rápidos: O museu está situado dentro de uma mansão colonial do século XVII que pertenceu à nobreza espanhola. Seu acervo abrange 10.000 anos de história regional, desde esculturas em pedra pré-incas até a sinistra arte religiosa da era colonial.
Destaques: Escondido em um canto tranquilo, um único cômodo abriga a coleção pessoal de artefatos de ouro e prata que o próprio Carlos Dreyer escavou das próximas torres funerárias de Sillustani. A luz incide sobre o metal polido de uma certa maneira, revelando intrincados padrões geométricos que o povo Qulla martelou em peitorais e coroas há mais de 800 anos.
Dicas de quem conhece
- 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.
