Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A small museum with a rich history shows how indigenous communities lived, communicated and dressed. All the riches of culture and teachings that the peoples have left behind. Quick visit, in less than 1h you can see the entire museum and the entrance is free.

Anyone who has been to the gold museum in Bogota will know this small museum does not provide the same experience as the superb Bogota offering and given the choice between the two museums, this is not the one we would choose. That said, it is worth a quick visit particularly for anyone who has visited the main museum in Bogota as a lot of the background information provided there aids understanding of the displays. Some of the video displays are also quite informative.
Free to enter but should not take more than 30 minutes.

Small interesting free exhibition. Beautiful pieces to observe and interesting written documentation. Exaggerated air conditioning especially in the projection room, a real fridge. About 30 minutes for the tour.

This free museum does a wonderful job of condensing Colombia’s golden past into a geographic and chronological summary. For newbies to gold, there aren’t enough details to get you up to speed. But if you’re walking in with background knowledge, this is the perfect update fir Colombian gold.

It seems to be undergoing renovations. They have placed a very small amount of items in the national bank across the street. Unfortunately that was closed the day we went as well.

Short visit about the history of Columbian Gold. Took just a few minutes but it was interesting. Takes you through the different eras and what was found among fossils.

Museo del Oro Zenú belongs to Banco de la República, the central bank of Colombia. There is a gold museum in Bogota, and six regional museums focusing on the regional archaeology. They are all different, and their golden pieces and ceramics tell tales about ancient pre-Hispanic times in this country.
