Quimbaya Museum tour

Description activity Quimbaya Museum tour

The Quimbaya “Gold” Museum is relatively small, but one of the more beautiful museums in Colombia. It is a tribute to the first native inhabitants of Quindío who created an extensive indigenous art in goldsmithery and ceramics. The archaeological exhibits are accompanied by detailed written scripts that describe the results of rigorous scientific investigations. The curator’s primary mission is to integrate the rich beauty of the pre-Hispanic legacy (spanning over 10,000 years!) with an increasing knowledge, awareness and deep respect for the indigenous tribes. In addition to exhibitions of art and architecture, the museum also organizes anthropological theme tours, more specifically targeting children.
