Museo Litoral Boliviano, Military history museum in La Paz, Bolivia.

The Museo Litoral Boliviano occupies a listed Monument building at Apolinar Jaén Street No. 789 in La Paz. Its four rooms hold photographs of the Pacific ports lost in the War of the Pacific, portraits of figures such as Eduardo Abaroa and Ignacia Zeballos, plus rifles, flags and objects recovered from the fighting.

The museum was founded in 1978 and centers on a conflict that cost Bolivia its maritime territory in 1879. This event continues to shape the country's understanding of its geographic identity.

The rooms commemorate figures such as Ignacia Zeballos, founder of the Bolivian Red Cross, who served as a nurse with the Colorados Battalion at the Battle of Alto de la Alianza and was called "Mother of the Soldier". Ladislao Cabrera, Calama's highest authority in 1879, refused surrender to Chile and later served as interim president in 1881.

The museum is located in a central area of La Paz and is accessible most weekdays, with opening hours split into two sessions separated by a lunch break. It's worth planning enough time to explore all four exhibition rooms properly.

The museum preserves original military uniforms and battlefield maps that were rescued from combat zones. These physical objects offer a more direct understanding of historical reality than photographs alone.
