The Ethnographic and Folklore Museum (MUSEF) started as an institute of research and has established itself as a cultural space. It shows Bolivia’s folkloric and ethnic diversity from the pre-Columbian era to the present. The temporary exhibition rooms are dedicated to displaying living cultures; ethnic groups; objects made of leather, wood and earthenware; weavings and photographs among others things.
Don’t miss out on the superb permanent exhibition on the ground floor showcasing masks used in festivals and religious ceremonies in communities throughout Bolivia. Learn more about Bolivia’s traditional dances, ethnic groups, music, history and customs by watching a collection of short films in the museum’s video library.
