Pre-Hispanic History: Gold Museum of Bogotá This is the most important museum in the country in terms of the legacy of pre-Hispanic cultures before the Conquest. We will learn about the importance of metals such as gold and jewels such as emeralds, their significance for the native peoples, the manufacturing techniques used by different types of communities, and the uses and symbolism of these objects, their relationship with the worldview, power plants, and the territory.

Colonial History; Colonial Museum To understand the history of Colombia and the South American nations, the concept of nationhood, and the cultural diversity that exists in the territory, it is necessary to immerse oneself in the process of conquest and establishment of the colonies on the continent beginning in the 16th century. To this end, we will explore the arrival of the Spanish Empire to the new continent and its legacy.
In this museum, we will explore the European worldview, the relationship between Christianity and the arrival in the New World, and the role of religious orders in the societies that were evangelized beginning in the 16th century. The construction of the New World also has a close relationship with Africa and the encounter between Africans and the existing native cultures.
Trade, language, food, and music were part of the cultural exchange that developed until the 19th century and led to the emergence of the national republics that exist today in America. This museum explores this process in depth. Republican History; Mint Museum and Botero Museum
Starting in the 19th century, the independence of what are now the South American nations was consolidated. At the Casa de la Moneda, visitors can follow the process of establishing national identity and its historical and social implications through the production of money. At the Botero Museum
