The pretty, historic street is lined with one museum after another: here there is an instrument museum, a precious metal museum, the house of Pedro Domingo Murillo, a museum about the Litoral province that Bolivia lost to Chile in the war, and the historic Museo Costumbrista Juan de Vargas. The latter four museums can be visited with a joint ticket.
La Paz's best-preserved colonial street is home to four small museums. They're all clustered together and can usually be bundled into one visit. Buy tickets at the Museo Costumbrista and continue on to the Museo de Metales Preciosos, Museo del Litoral, and Casa de Murillo. The Museo Costumbrista Juan de Vargas contains art and photographs, as well as some excellent dioramas of ceramic figures from old La Paz: a depiction of Akulliko, the hour of coca-chewing; the festivities surrounding Saint John the Baptist's Day; and the hanging of Murillo in 1810. It also displays colonial artifacts and colorful puppets in traditional costumes. There's a cozy cafe on the grounds. The Museo de Metales Preciosos, also known as the Museo del Oro (Gold Museum), houses four impressively presented salons of pre-Columbian silver, gold, and copper work, as well as pieces from Tiwanaku. The tiny Museo del Litoral consists mostly of historical maps defending Bolivia's emotionally charged claims to Antofagasta and Chile's Segunda Región. The Casa de Murillo was once the home of Pedro Domingo Murillo, a leader of the La Paz Revolution of July 16, 1809. It displays collections of colonial art, furniture, and household items made of glass and silver that once belonged to the Bolivian aristocracy.
