Came here to see the Fuente Magna. Pictures were unfortunately prohibited. No explanation was given about the object. Talk about an anticlimax... The tiny museum only has a few golden objects. The entry fee of 20 bolivianos allow you to visit 3 other neat museums closeby.

just for the photo...

Mi experiencia en haber visitado este museo fue de lo mejor. Uno de los mejores que visite en La Paz, Bolivia. Lo malo es que no te permiten tomar fotos como hubiera deseado. Deberian permitir tomar fotos dentro del museo para tener una experiencia mas enriquecedora. La pieza que mas me gusto ver fue la Fuente Magna, con muchos signos escritos dentro de la misma, y de ellos estan los que tienen mucha similitud con algunos signos protosumerios, los cuales no son realmente protosumerios. De ello puedo estar seguro

I think the price they charge tourists is very expensive, compared to native Bolivians, who pay 10X less to enter. Culture and history should never be expensive! Other than that, a good museum, nothing spectacular, it was worth seeing the magnificent fountain, although you can't photograph anything there (another idiocy, in my opinion).

An amazing experience, you can appreciate the magna fountain, it is amazing.

There isn't much to do on a rainy day in La Paz other than the museums. You buy a ticket here and can use it to go to all museums. The exhibitions are very interesting, but knowledge of Spanish is an advantage in order to take something with you. The gold finds from the pre-Inca period are kept in a huge safe and are truly fascinating. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. Only the sanitary facilities were not good even by Bolivian standards.

Go to the ethnographic museum instead... Got ticket with entrance to several of the museums in Calle Jean (same owners), and I thought the museums had a really elitist and colonialist vibe to it.

Nos cobraron la entrada entera de los 4 museos y no nos avisaron que cerraba en una hora y nos echaron. Solo pudimos ver 1. Intentamos reclamar y no tienen libro de reclamaciones ni nada. Muy mal muy ,mala gestión

(Translated by Google) Nice museum. Very small but quite enlightening. Includes two other museums when paying admission. 20 bs for foreigners and 8 for nationals. (Original) Bonito museo. Muy pequeño pero bastante ilustrador. Incluye otros dos museos al pagar la entrada. 20 bs para extranjeros y 8 para nacionales.

Great museum. The building itself is beautifull too. Good information from the guides. Be aware: everything in spanish.

Small museum with an interesting collection. Inka gold is always fascinating. Unfortunately, does not allow photography.

Only spanish explainations

Very beautiful

Unmatched experience for those interested in learning about the ability of the people of the Andean plateau to work with metals. If you pass through the city of La Paz you must visit this Museum.

(Translated by Google) Museum that contains several exhibitions but in certain parts they are not well lit and in most of them nothing is explained at all, so you only see, but you cannot associate the exhibited very well (Original) Museo que contiene varias exposiciones pero en ciertas partes no están bien iluminados y en la mayoría de ellos nada nada explicados, por lo que únicamente ves, pero no puedes asociar muy bien lo expuesto

Hermoso museo! Muy cuestionado pero en excelente estado.

Fue una experiencia fascinante visitar el museo. Desde la entrada estás rodeado de historia y cultura y dentro puedes encontrar artefactos de civilizaciones antiguas.

Impressive to be able to appreciate the gold artifacts and the use of metal tools from such remote times, even more impressive to see the Magna Fountain that presents Sumerian writings inside, it is what impressed me most to see of all the museums I visited and we It leaves you thinking about how said artifact got there from a civilization located in the Middle East, on the other side of the world.
