Casa del Alabado Pre-Columbian Art Museum, Pre-Columbian art museum in Historic Center, Ecuador.
The Casa del Alabado Museum presents 500 permanent archaeological pieces across 14 exhibition rooms within a traditional colonial structure in central Quito.
The museum building dates to the 17th century during Spanish colonial rule and now houses over 5,000 archaeological artifacts from ancient Ecuadorian cultures.
Eight dedicated exhibition spaces present different aspects of ancient Ecuadorian societies, including cosmology, religious rituals, and environmental connections.
The museum opens Wednesday through Sunday from 9:00 to 17:00, with admission prices ranging from free for small children to $6.00 for international visitors.
Rather than chronological ordering, the museum arranges its collection thematically to emphasize the artistic value of pre-Columbian objects.
