Museo del Tesoro

The museum is a tribute to beauty. Shows the art and technique of gold, silver and gemstones from Bolivia.

I absolutely loved this museum! We were taken on a tour by Hebert who was amazing at explaining each of the exhibitions. The museum is sort of in the dark, with Hebert turning on the lights of just one section at a time meaning that it was full of constant surprises. I really enjoyed learning about the impact of mining on the economy and culture of Bolivia, and seeing the artefacts in the museum. The most amazing section is the crystals. You aren't allowed to take photos which is a shame but I think it is nice that everything there is a surprise to you. Good value for money, interesting stuff and a superb guide.

Museo Murillo

Reviewed By AMsays - Thornhill, Canada

Found on colourful Calle Jaen, also known as Casa de Murillo, this was originally the home of Pedro Domingo Murillo, Bolivian revolutionary leader who was later hanged by the Spanish and became a martyr fer modern day Bolivia. Now a museum on two floors, it houses treasures of the former Bolivian aristocracy. There are ornate silver artifacts, paintings, statues, colonial furniture, household wares, textiles, and assortment of glass items amongst many other things. It is an interesting collection especially if you want to envision how the aristocracy lived circa 1800s. Look out for the prominent paintings “The Execution of Murillo” and “Los Plantas Calientes”, both prominently displayed.
