Museo Tambo Quirquincho, Historical art museum in Historic Center, La Paz, Bolivia.
The Museo Tambo Quirquincho occupies a two-story colonial structure with a large central courtyard at the intersection of Plaza Alonso de Mendoza and Calle Evaristo Valle.
Originally constructed before the 18th century as a storage facility for agricultural products, the building later hosted Alonso de Mendoza during the founding of La Paz in 1548.
The museum displays an extensive photographic collection documenting the history of Chola paceña and features ten rooms dedicated to rotating monthly art exhibitions.
Located at Plaza Alonso de Mendoza in Rosario, the museum operates from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with admission fees of 10 bolivianos for adults.
The interior facade contains an 18th-century arch with the Spanish crown and a mestizo baroque arcade salvaged from the demolished Convent of la Concepción.
