Tarija tiene un gran yacimiento de fosiles de animales prehistoricos. Los hay en el museo junto a atracciones historicas, vestigios de pueblos. Es un Museo que vale la pena visitar y aprender. Se halla a menos de una cuadra de la plaza principal.

Reviewed By pancj2018 - Lima, Peru
As an archaeologist and museum professional, archaeology museum are at the very top of my list of local attractions anywhere I go. Sometimes, I'm profoundly disappointed and at others I'm wildly impressed. This is not one of the great museums of South America (think Lima and Bogota), but it is an absolutely terrific museum of the archaeology of Bolivia, that has done the absolute maximum with a limited budget. It is both chronologically and regionally oriented with a natural focus on Tiwanaku the imperial capital not far from La Paz. The stonework they have from Tiwanaku is fantastic and worth a visit all by itself. Apart from the focus on this ancient imperial city, they have very good exhibits on first inhabitants, pre-Tiwanaku cultures around Lake Titicaca, post- Tiwanku/Inca material and good exhibits on prehistoric cultures in other parts of Bolivia. If you have any interest in the archaeology of Bolivia and its ancient cultures, this is an important visit.
