The Gold Museum is located in Bogota, Colombia. It displays an extraordinary

selection of its prehispanic gold work collection (the biggest in the world) in its

exhibition rooms on the second and third floors. Together with other pottery, stone,

shell, wood and textile archeological objects, these items, made of what indigenous

cultures was a sacred metal, testify to the life and thought of different societies which

inhabited what is known as Colombia before contact was made with Europe.

In 1993 the Bank of the Republic began helping to protect the archaeological

patrimony of Colombia. The object known as Poporo Quimbaya was the first one in a

collection. It has been on exhibition for 65 years.
