A block south of Parque Bolívar, you’ll find this museum and the municipal library . The archaeology room on the ground floor has mainly Inca and pre-Inca ceramics, and several figurines from the oldest culture in Ecuador, the Valdivia (c 3200 BC). Also on the ground floor is a colonial room with mainly religious paintings and a few period household items. Upstairs, there’s a jumble of modern art and ethnography rooms.
