    This museum of customs tells us the entire historical process of both the City of La Paz and Bolivia. It is part of the museum circuit in the area, ideal to visit, with a well-preserved and equipped infrastructure, you can find exhibitions in several rooms, properly signposted, explanatory and set. Without a doubt, it is a place that one has to visit to learn more about the cultural heritage and history of the city.

    🏛️ El primero que debes visitar de un complejo de museos municipales.🏛️ Excelente museo con unos dioramas buenísimos con escenas cotidianas de nuestra ciudad desde su fundación hasta las últimas décadas, personajes destacados de antaño, danzas, trajes y la evolución de la vestimenta de la chola paceña con sus trajes y joyas. También se puede encontrar una sala especial para las alasitas, con su orígen y ekekos del siglo XIX. ✋El ingreso es con carnet de identidad obligatorio. 💵 El ticket tiene un costo de 8Bs y con el mismo puedes ingresar a los siguientes: ✅ Museo Costumbrista ✅ Museo del Litoral ✅ Museo de metales preciosos ✅ Museo Casa de Murillo Realmente una ganga para el precio. Los adultos mayores tienen ingreso libre. 🛑Lo malo del lugar 🚫 No se pueden tomar fotografías dentro de las salas solamente en los patios. Debería haber la posibilidad o en todo caso poder pagar otro ticket para el derecho de tomar fotografías. 🚫 Hay muchas piezas que no están catalogadas, sin nombre, sin fechas, etc. 🚫 Parece un poco descuidado en cuanto a la limpieza y mantenimiento de las piezas. Por lo demás excelente lugar.

    Interesting museum with period costumes, carnival costumes and historical costumes and battles from the history of Bolivia. With the ticket of 20 bolivianos you can visit up to 4 museums in the area.

    Worth seeing, it does close a bit early. There were some good explanations, mostly in Spanish. Overall, enjoyed the experience.
