Pre-Columbian Art Museum House of Praise

Really interesting collection with many artifact styles i have not seen before. But it's a typical museum of the Latin world in that there is little to no description of what are the artifacts, and the few tags that are present are unreadable. This appears to be a collection of pothunted items with no provenience.

There really is only one museum in Quito you NEED to VISIT, and it is this one! If there was an Oscar's for museums, The Casa Museo del Alabado would win it, no doubt. Interesting and entertaining for ALL AGES. If you have small kids they will be curious about all the different artifacts they'll see like animal representations and even water jugs/bottles that makes noise when you pour them (a nifty little thing pre-Columbian peoples made).

The love and dedication to make this colonial renewal can be denoted in every detail. It is an architectural sigh for the soul. I loved the guides as they interact with replicas of the Museum and the passion they put into their exhibitions. Really enjoyed it every single minute here. It should be mentioned that this house has a very cozy fig tree in one of its courtyards.

A very good museum with well organised exhibitions and interesting information. Definitely recommend it to anyone interested in history, art or culture. I loved this museum. The ceramic water pipes that mimic animal voices are very cool. My other favourite were the ancient ceramic pieces depicting internal organs.

Excellent displays of amazing artifacts. We were really lucky and had a short tour from a very knowledgeable young lady. Well worth the visit
