Awesome!

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/30/08

I went here on a field trip in 1964 and I'm going back this summer. I can't wait! You should visit during the spring, when it's moderately warm and there aren't too many other people.

A Must For Any Visitor

By mariposita, 8/1/04

The Casa de la Cultura is an amazing collection of Incan artifacts, pre-Colombian tools and artifacts from local Indian groups, colonial and modern art. If you are going to visit any museum in Ecuador, make it this one. Allow at least three hours to see it all.

Fantastic Archaeology Exhibits

By Corisa Ford, 7/22/04

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!
