National Museum of Colombia Tour

About the tour

The national museum of Colombia, located in Bogotá, is the largest and oldest museum in Colombia. The museum was built in 1823 and is at the same time one of the oldest of the continent. The building has not always been a museum, it served as a prison until 1946 and only in 1948 it became the national museum and was totally renovated in 1975. 

This fascinating museum consists of 20.000 pieces that symbolize the national history and heritage of Colombia. The museum is divided into 4 sections: art, history, archeology and ethnography. To taste the atmosphere of the Golden Museum that is also located in Bogotá, you visit the safe-like room on the first floor. The collection of 'independence' is definitely worth a stop, especially to see the exhibition "many faces of Simón Bolívar". The archeology collection is also cool to see. An art lover? Then enjoy the pieces from the colonial era. On the top floor you can find some paintings by Botero and other famous modern Colombian artists. The artwork the "Peach Dove", from the world-famous Colombian artist Fernando Botero, can be admired in the museum since July 2018.

Visit the museum in your own pace and take as many photos as you want, while you make the great trip back in Colombia's time.
