Museo Colonial
The Colonial Museum concentrates on art and material culture from Colombia’s colonial period. It suits visitors who want to examine religious imagery and decorative work in greater detail.
Paintings, sculpture and furnishings make the colonial world tangible through objects rather than through a general chronology alone. This is a distinct museum from nearby Santa Clara, with a broader collection rather than a single surviving church interior. Choose it for sustained looking at techniques, imagery and the relationship between artistic production and colonial society.
