Museum of Musical Instruments - Bolivian Musical Instruments Museum

Situated right in the middle of the famed Calle Jaen is an impressive museum suited to music lovers of all ages.

Founded in 1962 by famous Bolivian charanguista and inventor of musical instruments, Ernesto Cavour Aramayo, the privately owned Museum of Musical Instruments houses Bolivia’s most extensive collection of unique indigenous instruments.

Over two floors visitors can discover some of Bolivia’s more unusual musical devices including volcanic rock flutes in the shape of erotic figures, guitars made from armadillos and a large pan-pipe made from palm leaf which can only be played when standing up.
