description The paper presents a historical journey on the transformations that gave rise to the institution known as the National Museum, the origin of some of the most important state museums in Bolivia. Museums arise based on relationships among collections, spaces, institutions and persons, within defined social and political contexts. In this sense, seven stages are traversed in the history of this museum: itinerant museums as predecessors; the formation of the Public Museum in 1838, linked to the La Paz Bishopric; a stage linked to the Municipality of La Paz; the creation of a National Museum of Natural History; its consolidation and merger with the municipal museum during liberal times to form the National Museum; his adoption of indigenous/tellurist ideas under the title of Museo Nacional Tihuanacu; and its transition towards nationalism, culminating in its subdivision, in 1961, into various specialized museums to this day. During this history, the development, growth, decrease, fusion and subdivision of collections of various kinds are shown; the location of the museums on the La Paz space is traced, and their relationships with persons, institutions and political-social moments are outlined.

El texto presenta un recorrido histórico sobre las transformaciones que dieron lugar a la institución conocida como Museo Nacional, origen de algunos de los museos estatales más importantes de Bolivia. Los museos surgen en base a relaciones entre colecciones, espacios, instituciones y personas, dentro de contextos sociales y políticos definidos. En ese sentido, se recorren siete etapas en la formación de este museo: la de los museos itinerantes como antecesores; la de formación del Museo Público en 1838, ligada al Obispado paceño; la de conexión con el Municipio de La Paz; la creación de un Museo Nacional de Historia Natural; su consolidación y fusión con el repositorio municipal en tiempos liberales para formar el Museo Nacional; su adopción de ideas indigenistas/teluristas bajo el rótulo de Museo Nacional Tihuanacu; y su transición al nacionalismo, que culminará con su subdivisión, en 1961, en varios repositorios especializados que perduran hasta el día de hoy. Durante este recorrido se muestra el desarrollo, crecimiento, decrecimiento, fusión y subdivisión de colecciones de diversa índole; se rastrea la ubicación de los museos sobre el espacio paceño y se delinean sus relaciones con personas, instituciones y momentos político-sociales. Le texte présente un parcours historique sur les transformations qui ont donné naissance à l’institution connu sous le nom de Musée National, à l’origine de certains des musées d’État les plus importants de Bolivie. Les musées émergent sur la base des relations entre les collections, les espaces, les institutions et les personnes, dans des contextes sociaux et politiques définis. En ce sens, sept étapes sont traversées dans la formation de ce musée: les musées itinérants comme prédécesseurs; la formation du Musée Public en 1838, lié à l’Évêché de La Paz; une étape liée à la Mairie de La Paz; la création d’un Musée National d'histoire naturelle; sa consolidation et sa fusion avec le musée municipal à l’époque libérale pour former le Musée National; son adoption d'idées indigènes/telluristes sous le titre de Musée National Tihuanacu; et sa transition vers le nationalisme, culminant dans sa subdivision, en 1961, en divers musées spécialisés à ce jour. Au cours de cette histoire, le développement, la croissance, la diminution, la fusion et la subdivision de collections de diverses sortes sont montrés; l’emplacement des musées sur l’espace de La Paz est tracé, et leurs relations avec les gens, les institutions et les moments politico-sociaux sont délimitées. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/esnoa/article/view/12901 10.34096/esnoa.n25.12901 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/esnoa/article/view/12901/11701 Derechos de autor 2023 Estudios Sociales del NOA Estudios Sociales del NOA; Núm. 25 (2022) 2362-2482 0329-8256 museums, history of science, liberalism, Republican era, Bolivia. museos, historia de la ciencia, liberalismo, época Republicana, Bolivia. musées, histoire des sciences, libéralisme, époque républicaine, Bolivie.
