A stunning nineteenth-century mansion houses the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Plaza, an impressive showcase of both homegrown and international talent. Amid the Gustave Eiffel stained glass and gilded staircases hang works which span the last six decades and the whole artistic spectrum, from vibrant indigenous oil paintings and political portraiture to US sculptor Richard Hallier's balletic poise and Cochabama-born Hans Hoffman's (not the famous abstract expressionist) powerful Minero Crucificado, strikingly wrought from soldered iron.
