Über
Schnelle Fakten: Über 600 Gold- und Keramikstücke erzählen die Geschichte der Tayrona-Völker, die in der Sierra Nevada lebten. Einige Objekte sind über 1.500 Jahre alt und zeugen von einem komplexen System kosmologischer und spiritueller Glaubensvorstellungen.
Highlights: Das Museum zeigt die "Poporo Quimbaya", ein 220 Gramm schweres Goldstück, das bei heiligen Ritualen zur Aufbewahrung von Kalk diente. Die Räume sind kreisförmig angeordnet, um die kosmische Vision der Tayrona nachzubilden, bei der jede Himmelsrichtung einem anderen Naturelement entspricht.
Insidertipps
- Wear quiet shoes: the wooden floor creaks less and you will better enjoy the hushed atmosphere of the dark rooms.
- The second floor houses a collection of textiles that is still too little known, do not leave before seeing it.
- Avoid visiting between 12pm and 2pm when school groups pour in and the air conditioning struggles to keep up.
- The outdoor garden with its modern sculptures is free and offers a superb photo spot at golden hour.
