Each exhibit has Spanish and English explanation. There is lots to see and plenty to learn. It is not crowded.
非常壮观的博物馆,里面信息丰富,陈列着很多文物,带你领略古代社会的生活面貌,以及金子的使用情况,是非常棒的视听盛宴。
Please allow yourself at least 2 hours since there are several floor to see the ancient development of the tribes and cultures of the Andes here. Lots of authentic gold artifacts and ancient poetry and mythology.You can rent head sets or hire a live tour guide.Wait until the surprise at the end of the tour!
你不光会看到黄金闪闪,如果这些金器是上百年前制作的,就会了解到一些前西班牙部落及其文化。强烈推荐多媒体导游。。。
My wife and I like adventure in our trips. We prefer surfing lessons to guided tours, cooking classes to tourist traps. So when she told me that we were spending part of our afternoon at a gold museum, I wasn't thrilled. I was mistaken. The history of the museum, the enthusiasm of our guide, and the intricate work of the gold pieces was fascinating. One of the cooler, unique experiences is an interactive room in which you enter in the dark, the door is closed, and you are eventually surrounded by chanting and lights that reveal thousands of original gold pieces on the walls around you. On top of the artifacts, the museum's restaurant was top notch. The only mark was the gift shop...I rarely want to bring home chachkes, by I was really in to some of the gold figures created by a wax-loss molding process. The selection was limited...I would have likely spent a fair amount of money on a few replicas if they had then there.
One of the best curated, most comprehensive museums in the whole continent. And lots in English, which suited us well. Just be aware, it's all on Pre-Colombian art so if you're not feeling a brain-heavy activity, maybe wait! But well worth it if you're a history/sociology buff. Plus the display at the end of gold whirling round with shamanic chanting was pretty trippy.We wrote a blog with some more tips on Bogota too: https://ednaventures.wordpress.com/2014/10/21/bogota-and-the-worst-hamburger/
use the audio. this is a very special, amazingly well designed audio to explain the history and significance of each section of this early history of the country. it focuses far more on the gold than other crafts and skills but does provide broader context. this museum can be overwhelming so go when well rested.
这里很不寻常,有着真正的金质动物和其他艺术品。在去之前一定要预留好时间,并且要提前进行些了解,你不会感到失望的。这里的警卫也人不错,尤其是那些矮一些的女士们。
We were very impressed by the quality and number of exhibits. Almost all had an explanation in English and they were well arranged. Photography without flash was allowed, and the shaman chanting made an amazing finale for us as we ran out of time! There were several small video shows which rested our feet. One other thing which was great for us was that senior citizens are admitted free!
The intricacy of the pieces here, the history and tradition in them... it's a wonderful museum to wander through and marvel at. Unlike anything I've ever seen.
