Museo Litico Monumental

TIME : 2016/2/19 14:33:41

The star of the show at Tiwanaku's museum is the massive 7.3m Monolito Bennett Pachamama , rescued in 2002 from its former smoggy home at the outdoor Templete Semisubterráneo in La Paz. You’ll also find a basic collection of artifacts, pottery, exhibits on the practice of cranial deformation, and other items dug up on site here. Labeling is in Spanish.

Much of the collection is currently mothballed, as the roof of the recently built museum is already collapsing.
