Tarabuco Style Weaving
On our second day in Sucre we visited the Museo de Arte Indigena or Museum of Indigenous Art. The museum is part of a project to revive hand-woven crafts of Bolivia. The exhibition provides a historical time line of the Candelaria, Potolo and Tarabuco styles of weaving. There are ancient and current tools on display as well as a variety of beautiful pieces of work for sale.
