Museum of Musical Instruments — Attraction in La Paz

We arrived at the museum at 1pm. At 1.15pm, we were informed that the museum would be closing at 1.30pm and would reopen at 2.30pm. We asked, can we resume our visit then. We were told, you will need to buy another ticket. Now, upon entry to the museum, we interacted with two different staff members: one that sold us the tickets, and one that validated our tickets. Neither had the professionalism, or decency, to advise us of the hours or even less of this ridiculous policy. Had they informed to us at the time of entry, we certainly would have come back for the afternoon session as the 3 rooms (out of 15) we were able to see were fantastic. At 5bob a ticket, it sure is cheap, but the treatment and lack of service we received left us feeling very disappointed and cheated, and we certainly were not going to buy new tickets. Señora Antonieta/management, I suggest you review your policy, or at the very least, make sure it is clearly communicated to clients...

J ai eu la chance qu une personne m entende de l extérieur, c était un vendredi, les horaires sur maps sont faux, le musée est fermé le week end. J aurais pu y rester 3jours. J ai voulu y retourner un lundi, fermé. J y suis retourné aujourd'hui en leur indiquant de faire attention, on m a fait comprendre qu en général les personnes ne restaient pas aussi longtemps, que le lendemain du jour ou je suis resté enfermé ils ont du faire appel à un technicien, la lumière et la musique fonctionnent par détection de mouvement si une personne reste trop longtemps dans une salle il y a des risques d incendie. De plus ils m ont gentiment indiqué que je leur avait coûté cher en électricité. J étais venu pour dessiner et peindre, les photos sont interdit pour droit d auteur apparement dessiner et peindre aussi.. Si vous passez 20min dans ce musée qui est très intéressant pas de soucis, parcontre si vous voulez y rester plus longtemps attention à vous. Rien d...
