It is a very nice place in the heart of downtown; helps to understand Colombia's rich heritage. Make sure to go inside the "boveda" so you can take a trip back into time!

Owner description:
The Banco de la República Gold Museum houses one of the most important collections of pre-Hispanic metallurgy in the world. As its history, which dates back to 1939, has unfolded, so this institution has become a symbol of Colombia's cultural memory. Its golden exhibition, fully renewed in November, 2008, is a place you cannot miss in your next trip to Bogota.

The Museo del Oro is one of the most spectacular museums I've ever seen. It reminded me of the King Tut exhibition that I saw In New Orleans 30 years or so ago, only times three or four. The pieces were beautiful, some with very intricate workmanship and represented the local historic culture. I would go again in a heartbeat!...

If you're into gold and the origin of metal working this is a great museum to visit. It's definitely the nicest museum in Columbia and it's extensive, well organized, and only $3.00 to get in.

Great cultural experience! Not just a place to look at gold, but a place to learn about the native peoples of Colombia.

There is one room where the sounds of the past fill your mind and take you back in time. It was absolutely amazing. I think it was on the third floor??
