Museo de Arte Antonio Paredes Candia, Art museum in Ciudad Satélite, El Alto, Bolivia
Museo de Arte Antonio Paredes Candia is a three-level art museum organized into three main sections: graphics, painting, and archaeology. The institution is managed by El Alto's municipal government and presents a structured collection spanning different artistic periods.
The museum was founded in 2002 based on a donation from Bolivian writer Antonio Paredes Candia, who contributed 113 of his own books. This founding marked the beginning of a major cultural institution in El Alto.
The museum displays works by Bolivian and international artists, with local painters like Antonio Llanque Huanca playing a central role. The collection reflects the artistic diversity valued in El Alto and beyond.
The museum is divided into three levels, making it easy to move between exhibition halls and explore the different collections. Visitors should allow enough time to view all sections adequately.
The archaeology section houses three Ekeko figures, representing an Andean deity of abundance, dressed in authentic clothing from different decades of the 20th century. These pieces reveal how material culture changed over time.
