The museum has nearly all the archeological & native indian displays in English. Which are both the best part of the museum. It is a little small, and you can get throught the whole museum in roughly 2 hours (thourogh visit). The modern art is interesting, but the best colonial displays are in the colonial part of Quito. In the past year and a half the colonial area has improved and is absolutely gorgeous... Make sure to spend a day there!
