Museo Nacional del Arte

TIME : 2016/2/19 14:33:48

This stunning building was constructed in 1775 of pink Viacha granite and has been restored to its original grandeur, in mestizo (mixed) baroque and Andino baroque styles. In the center of a huge courtyard, surrounded by three stories of pillared corridors, is a lovely alabaster fountain. The various levels are dedicated to different eras, with an emphasis on religious themes.

Highlights include works by former paceño (La Paz native) Marina Núñez del Prado.
