Small annoyances: it seems screaming children are not objected to here.

There's sure to be something for every art lover here. From prehistoric times through colonization and the turbulent 20th century.įor me the top floor art collection was an awesome journey through colonial era classicism to modern inventiveness. From millenia of cultures of what is now Colombia, social organization, domestic life, cuisine, conflict, you name it. This is a place for history, learning, culture. There wasn't much English info, but you must realize this isn't primarily a tourist attraction or photo opportunity.

They didn't just stick a bunch of stuff against the wall is what I'm saying. Sometimes in a linear style showing aspects of history in a timeline, sometimes displays you can walk around as you choose. And so in all a bit more than 3 hours spent including a walk-around of the outdoor courtyard garden just inside the exit gate (with mostly mid-sized green shrubs but a "pleasant atmosphere" where there's also an outdoor cafe), I left this museum really "quite impressed" which among my four national history museums visited in South & Central Americas is "right on par" with the one in Rio with also "great comprehensive" displays of the Brazilian history which I'd visited a year earlier (with the other two being those in Santiago, Chile & San Jose, Costa Rica which are also very nice & informative museums but just on slightly smaller scales compared to this one & the one in Rio).Īnd so, located just shortly past the north end of the "big pedestrian street" Carrera 7 (with just plenty of outdoor vendors along both sides and likely busier on Sunday than the other days of the week since it was a "pretty packed" way for much of about 2 km that I walked), also should not be missed near this museum is the green 'Bogota' sign likely made of leaves or such (in the small park just about a 5-minute walk to the south) & also Colpatria Tower which is not the tallest in town but likely the tallest open to the public (just immediately past that small park although closed on my day likely due to being weekend). Somewhat surprisingly though, there's not much (actually I would say if at all!) of the "colonial era" of the country displayed at this museum but yes for which there's another great museum (although one quite a bit smaller than this one) called Museo Colonial in barrio La Candelaria (the city's historic area at just about a half-hour walk south from here). Among the many displays & "many types" of displays (potteries, sculptures, paintings & just miscellaneous memorabilia items) though, I was mostly impressed by these sizeable colorful paintings (some actually "huge-sized" ones mainly to be found on the 3rd level) depicting both political scenes (such as the swearing-in ceremony or such of Simon Bolivar & also just individual portraits of past presidents) and social scenes (such as a riverboat anchored alongside a village or such on a peaceful river, a family sitting together in a room but with each just at their own task without talking with one another & a young couple at a countryside or such looking at a distance like some settlers on their journey) and yes also worthwhile times spent were reading the "info displays" on the 1st level (with really quite a bit of knowledge to learn about the functioning, hierarchies & such of the native societies) and walking along the "long corridors" of both the 2nd & 3rd levels going through just plenty of "historical memorabilia" (with also drawers to open inside which some hand-written documents & such from long ago and also phones to pick up for some audio recordings). Not much of an "enticing building" (as I would put it) from outside as it is a former prison (with some of these wrought-iron doors inside which likely have been there since the time of the prison!), but yes to see inside on its "3 spacious levels" are those from the pre-Columbian (or pre-Hispanic as is the term used here) era on the 1st level & those from the "early republic" era on the 2nd & 3rd levels.
