Art and Archaeological Collection

The museum's collection includes not only archaeological relics from the Chibcha culture but also valuable works of art by Eginhard Menghius, David Parra Carranza, Manuel León, and sculptor Hugo Martínez González. These pieces add to the richness and diversity of the museum's offerings.
