Gold Museum (Museo del Oro)

5/5

Much richer than expected. The museum offers a wide range of well-presented exhibits, with clear explanations through both the audio guide and display texts. I took a slow, thorough walk through and spent about 6 hours. Highlights: 1) gold and other metalworking techniques; 2) artifacts and decorations from different regions of Colombia; 3) offerings and their ritual significance. A deeply rewarding visit.

Amazing place and I would 100% recommend. Very clean, organized and well planned exhibits. So much to see and learn here and I was also surprised to find out that most of the exhibits have English descriptions adjacent to each piece. Beautiful relics and unique pieces. The museum has a cafe and gift shop inside as well. Lots to do afterwards in the immediate area such as shopping and dining.

This was an excellent museum. The entrance fee is also only 5000 pesos. Just the treasures that they had there were incredibly impressive. There should be a little more information about the dates of the pieces but I was also just happy to look at the items and be taken in by their magic. They also had an immersive experience that lit up a circular wall of jewelry. I got shivers thinking of all the people that the pieces belonged to. They also have a store were you can buy gold plated replicas of some of the jewelry. All in all a really beautiful place to visit.
