This eye-opening private museum is a must-see if you’re interested in indigenous art and culture. Juxtaposing archaeological finds with contemporary and recent artisanal work from all over Latin America in a series of sumptuously realized displays, it takes an encouragingly broad view of Andean culture and beyond. It’s an exquisite dose of color and beauty run with great enthusiasm by the English-speaking management.
The quality of the pieces (amazing macaw-feather creations, religious sculpture from the Cuzco school, tools of the trade of Bolivian Kallawaya healers and finely crafted Mapuche silver jewelry) is extraordinarily high, testament to decades of study and collection by the anthropologist founder.
