Definitely worth the walk up the hill! Wide selection and we each got handed an extensive guide book in English to read through, with text clearly marked up to each exhibit. No photos inside, but allowed on the shop which also has a great selection of hand made goods with proceeds going directly back to artists. A great view point of the city is just around the corner.

A small museum about the indigenous people of Bolivia and their life. Very interesting and beautifully made.

Amazing museum of the Arte Indígena in Bolivia. You have to pay and entrance fee of 11-25 bolivianos depending if you are national or foreigner. There is no pictures allowed inside the museum. It has 9 rooms full of different colorful textiles. Beautiful exhibition!

A great display of indigenous art. As someone who loves textile art, I was more than happy to experience such an exhibition. The museum guide (a little map) was greatly translated in German.

An absolutely amazing and well-laid-out collection of exhibits on regional textiles, music and dance, and historical artifacts. This is really a must-visit in Sucre. Written guides to exhibits are available in multiple languages including English and French (and of course Spanish). Budget at least two hours for a visit, there’s a lot to see and you’ll want to see it!

Interesting museum. Alot bigger than it first appears. There are clean bathrooms. There are guidebooks in many languages that you can use to understand what you are looking at. All items are numbered and easy to find in the book. Free coffee or tea.

Really enjoyed our visit. Well organized and well maintained. Don't have to pay for a guide like most places....you just pick your language, get given a very comprehensive guide book and you stroll around at your own pace. Perfect.

Wow this museum has a great and vast collection of art pieces. I was really impressed. Super interesting and educational. 100% worth a visit. Also the handmade items there are absolutely amazing and worth buying. Super high quality. If I could I’d give 10 stars :)

Must-visit if you’re in Sucre. Beautiful walkthrough if local indigenous textiles, music, and dance with great options to purchase textiles when you leave. I bought a scarf that I will love forever. Note that it’s uphill from the town center, so if the altitude is getting to you, plan to go slowly or grab a cab.

I really loved this museum. It is original in content and layout, and remains authentic to its history. As a self-guided expo, you can take as much time as you'd like. The shop next to it offers hand-made textiles and is a non-profit. We bought our most treasured items from there!

An immense amount of information and weavings from the people of the Altoplano heritage and culture. Pre-Columbian artifacts, colonial influences, and how the people today are saving their artwork from going extinct. Celebrating the revival of these skills was amazing.

An absolutely amazing museum. The works are intricate and beautiful. The exhaustive descriptions provide a lot of context and are also deeply moving. They are available fully in English if you ask. The picture ban means I have to cherish this visit forever solely in my memory. Many thanks!

This has to be one of the best museums I have ever visited. The layout is well thought through, the display pieces very beautiful and interesting. The books printed in other languages are a nice touch. Well worth a visit!

I was amazed by the artistry. 8 months 8 hours per day to make a 3'x4' amazing depiction of the underworld, and the gift shop sells some of them for $500. I really wanted to buy one.

Best place to buy indigenous hand made textiles, garments, accessories and apparel. The best quality handicrafts shop in Sucre. Not like the ones around the museum that offer very low quality, factory made things. The museum is worth to visit to understand the development and iconography of the textile Indian art.

Simply amazing! In this museum you will see plenty of indigenes art pieces and the story that goes along with it!
