Museo Nacional de Colombia

A true national museum in every sense. Its exhibitions span vast scales of time and geography. The texts on the walls are beautifully written: thoughtful, elegant, and never pretentious. They match the exhibits perfectly and are worth reading slowly. Each of the three floors has a clear theme, guiding you through different perspectives on life, society, and art. You could easily spend a whole day here and still find more to appreciate.

This museum is very informative and lovely to visit in Bogota to learn about the history of Columbia. The artwork is quite stunning and the design of the entire museum is very educating. Most of the exhibits are both in Spanish and English which is very helpful and the audio guide is worth it.

They only accept cash payments in COP. The museum is not very big but still diverse and worth a visit.

Great museum! They sometimes have free entry, which means it will be busy but very much worth the visit. There’s lots to see and obviously a lot of history! Definitely recommend checking out this museum. It has a combination of contemporary and historical exhibitions.

I am partial to National Museums, I think they are all mostly great. This museum was equally as great. One small downside was the shortage of alternative languages, while I am somewhat confident reading Spanish, a little more in English wou serve well. No French language, nor any other alternatives. Can be solved using translation app. Cost 43,000COP

Don't go. This museum isn't ready to be open. Construction work going on during visiting hours, which made for a very unrelaxing visit. Plus the 3rd floor and a display on the 1st floor are closed, so maybe 40% of the museum isn't open. Outside space could be nice but seems to be used as a builders yard. Oh and the shop and the restaurant are closed. Also pretty poor to charge foreign visitors almost 7x the price and then not translate the text boards. The main text is translated but information about each individual piece isn't, which just feels lazy. This is the most ripped off I've ever felt visiting a museum. Don't go. This would have been a waste of 6000COP, never mind 41000.

A must see when you are here. High educational value, great for school trips. You can have a good overview of the collection in around 3 hours. Beautiful and unique pieces. Some areas could have more "English" signs, but in general all important parts do have English signs / information.

The museum is ok. It has some nice artifacts. There’s a great wing that shows Colonial history which is quite interesting and well done. The rest of the Museum lacks coherence, there’s no storyline across it.
