Lonely Planet review

The Museo Arqueológico has an excellent overview of various of Bolivia's indigenous cultures. There's an intriguing range of artifacts: funerary urns with characteristic bat and snake motifs, impressive fossils, painted ceramics, and spooky mummies and trepanned skulls. Look out for the Tiwanaku section; their shamans used to snort lines of hallucinogenic powder through elegant bone tubes.

There's good information in Spanish, and an English-speaking guide is usually available from to Mondays to Fridays.
