This impressive museum contains a substantial collection of pre-Columbian, colonial art in one wing, and contemporary art in the other. It is an ideal museum to get an overall picture of the history of Ecuador, from the very first inhabitants, through the conquest, the colonial and republican periods, up to the contemporary period. The exhibition includes ancient pieces, sculptures, paintings, utensils and all sorts of objects and art pieces from the first Ecuadorian settlers. The museum is easily reached, as it is located between two of the city's principal streets, in the north-central part of the city.
