Museo de Instrumentos Musicales de Bolivia

Introduction

The Museo de Instrumentos Musicales sits in the historic centre of Sucre, Bolivia's constitutional capital, celebrating Latin American instrument culture. Hundreds of traditional Bolivian and Andean instruments fill the galleries: charangos, quena flutes, panpipes, colonial harps and pianos, including rare 18th- and 19th-century pieces and manuscripts. The displays trace the arc from indigenous ritual music through colonial fusion to modern Bolivian folk — cueca and bailecito included. Live demonstration sessions often bring a charango player into the galleries, and the static exhibits spring to life. Set among Sucre's white colonial courtyards, it is a must for music lovers and anyone seeking the soul of Bolivia.
