This small but engaging museum provides an opportunity for visitors to take a look into the tradition and diverse culture of the Bolivian people. Built in the 1700’s, the Museo Nacional de Folklore features exhibits from the Chipayas and Ayoreos cultures, which predate modernday Bolivia by centuries. The museum is worth a visit just for the the display of ceremonial masks on the first floor.

This is a great place to escape the busy streets of La Paz, and spend an afternoon learning about the Uros and other indigenous cultures of Bolivia. The highlight of the National Folklore Museum in La Paz is the exhibition of ancient weavings at the 3,000 Years of Textiles display.
You can buy a ticket to visit 3 museums in La Paz: San Fransico monastery, Museo de Etnografia y Folklore and Museo Nacional de Arte.
