A true national museum in every sense. Its exhibitions span vast scales of time and geography. The texts on the walls are beautifully written: thoughtful, elegant, and never pretentious. They match the exhibits perfectly and are worth reading slowly. Each of the three floors has a clear theme, guiding you through different perspectives on life, society, and art. You could easily spend a whole day here and still find more to appreciate.

I am partial to National Museums, I think they are all mostly great. This museum was equally as great. One small downside was the shortage of alternative languages, while I am somewhat confident reading Spanish, a little more in English wou serve well. No French language, nor any other alternatives. Can be solved using translation app. Cost 43,000COP

Don't go. This museum isn't ready to be open. Construction work going on during visiting hours, which made for a very unrelaxing visit. Plus the 3rd floor and a display on the 1st floor are closed, so maybe 40% of the museum isn't open. Outside space could be nice but seems to be used as a builders yard. Oh and the shop and the restaurant are closed. Also pretty poor to charge foreign visitors almost 7x the price and then not translate the text boards. The main text is translated but information about each individual piece isn't, which just feels lazy. This is the most ripped off I've ever felt visiting a museum. Don't go. This would have been a waste of 6000COP, never mind 41000.
