Well worth the trip, interesting and informative with some truly breathtaking exhibits. Some of the detail and skill on show in the artifacts is very impressive. Well presented and tidy museum too, with good explanations throughout the exhibitions. more

The Museo de Oro is currently under renovation and a partial exhibit is on display at the Banco de la República (Bank of the Republic). The pieces are extraordinary and worth the visit. They allow pictures without flash. more
