The Gold Museum of Bogota, officially known as Museo del Oro, is located in Santander Park in the capital of Colombia, Bogota. It was established in 1939 and moved to its current location in 1968. The museum houses over 26,000 pieces of gold, including the world-famous 'Sacred Chest' inlaid with 1,400 emeralds. Most of these gold pieces are exquisite artifacts made by the Indians before the Columbus era, and their quantity and quality are among the best in the world. The museum is divided into three floors. The first floor mainly introduces the history of the Indians, the second floor focuses on the gold mining and refining techniques of the Indians, and the third floor displays some of the collected gold artifacts. Here, visitors can appreciate these spectacular and exquisite gold pieces on a whole new level and experience the history and culture they embody. In general, whether it is tourists interested in history and culture, or people with unique insights into gold artifacts, they can find their own fun in the Gold Museum of Bogota.

Gold Museum

One of the most visited tourist sites in Bogota - El Museo de Oro - or, the Museum of Gold. Here, we witnessed the largest collection of gold artefacts (said to be around 34,000 pieces) that showcase everything from pottery and textile objects to jewellery and more - all highlighting the country’s indigenous culture / past. An interesting and informative place to visit for anyone in the city! 📍El Museo de Oro, Bogota, Colombia #leaveyourmark
