The South American capital home to the Gold Museum, Museo del Oro, is Bogotá, Colombia.
The museum is an archaeology museum in central Bogotá, beside Parque Santander. It is operated by Banco de la República and is famous for its pre-Columbian goldwork, including objects made by Muisca, Quimbaya, Calima, Zenú, and other Indigenous cultures.
The collection began in 1939 when the bank acquired the famous Quimbaya Poporo. One of the museum’s best-known objects is the Muisca raft, discovered near Pasca in 1969. It depicts an offering ceremony associated with the legend of El Dorado, although the legend was later exaggerated by European accounts.
A common mix-up is assuming the museum is in Quito or Lima because both cities have major archaeological collections. Bogotá is the canonical answer: the institution’s full name and location specifically identify Colombia’s capital.
