Located in the popular square, Plaza Murillo, a small exhibition of Bolivian art spread across three floors. Get ready to climb up some stairs as there is no elevator in the building. The building is used to be the residence of Mayor Don Francisco Tadeo Diez de Medina y Vidango before it was converted to present use in 1960s. Ticket costs 20bs for foreigner and can be purchase at the site.

If religious artwork is your thing, then this museum will be your heaven. Otherwise, it's not worth the 20Bs. You follow a designated route through the museum to view all of the open galleries. Unfortunately, none of the other temporary galleries were open when I was there, and I was in and out in less than an hour. For those interested, descriptions are only in Spanish. Maybe if there is a temporary exhibition that piques your interest (or you're an aforementioned devotee of religious iconography), it may be worth the price of admission. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend visiting.

Not sure about some of the negative reviews. Yes, it is small, but it is well laid out, interesting and in a stunning building. Some of the art is breathtaking and a strole around for an hour and a half was plenty for us. All uplifted by the art and building we carried on with our La Paz look around.

É um belo museu que apresenta um panorama da arte boliviana desde o período vice-reinal até a arte moderna e contemporânea. O imóvel, a Casa dos condes de Arana, onde ele está situado é uma das joias de residências senhoriais do Império espanhol. Como o museu proíbe fotos internas restringi-me a vistas externas. No acervo destaca-se logo na entrada alguns belos quadros dos arcanjos típicos da região andina. A fonte de alabastro no pátio interno e a escadaria com o mesmo material demarca o requinte do prédio. No acervo se destaca o arcanjo arcobucero do Mestre de Calamarca e a linda pintura da virgem do Rosário de Pomata de um pintor do Lago Titicaca.Chama a atenção o trabalho de Marina Nunes del Prado pela sua delicada reflexão na pedra da condição feminina.

Interesting museum with many works to showcase Bolivian art in different periods. The entrance fee is 35 Bolivianos and they don't accept cards. The museum is not that big and you can see everything in less than 2hours.

Very cozy and interesting art museum. They have Bolivian modern artist works. The building itself also beautiful. I went to there weekday afternoon. No much people. you can relax and forget about noisy road.
