Museo del Tesoro, Sucre

Very interesting museum on Bolivia’s mining history, metals, minerals and gems. The museum is guided and my guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made it a five star experience for me! Definitely worth checking out when you’re in Sucre.

A pretty nice, albeit small, set of exhibits outlining the history of mineral and precious metal mining in Bolivia. To see the exhibits, there is only the 30-40 min long guided tour, which costs 25 Bolivianos per person. On my tour, my guide's English was a bit spotty but generally understandable, though Spanish-speaking visitors are sure to get more from the experience in that language. The museum is clean and nicely organized, displaying an array of Bolivian treasures and their origin. Though nothing absolutely extraordinary, it is a nice museum worth visiting if you are in the city. Also, photography of the inside of the museum is now prohibited, but apparently you can ask to license some pictures for free from the museum if you email.
