Mamani Mamani Gallery

La Paz


A gallery of art, yes, but also a collection of saleable artwork, including notecards and posters of Bolivia's most colorful and well-known modern artist, cochabambino Roberto Mamani Mamani (aka Roberto Aguilar Quisbert). You need to see his vibrant interpretations of his Aymará heritage, and you might need to bring some of it home! The cultural center has dance and painting classes.
