The mission of this museum is to preserve its archaeological collections of gold, ceramics, stone and other materials, classify and publish them as cultural heritage for present and future generations of Colombians dating back to 1939, so this institution has become a symbol of Colombia's cultural memory. Its Golden Gallery, which was completely renovated in November 2008, is a place you can't miss on your next trip to Bogotá with plenty of antiques, sculptures and gold pieces worth seeing.
