This is one of the six museums on Calle Jean each of which is housed in a former Colonial Era mansion. The building has been altered for its new purpose. The upper floors contain objects that relate to processing gold including statues and dioramas. The beautiful gold objects are inside a two-story, brick-lined, vault that was the mansion's wine celler. It is a unique display area. There is not much explination. Most of the beautiful metal objects come from Bolivia's premeir archeological site, Tiahuanaco.
