Museo Casa de los Abuelos

The Museo Casa de los Abuelos is a house museum in Sonsón displaying everyday items and crafts from the Antioquia region. It preserves furniture, pottery, and personal belongings that represent the daily life of earlier generations.

The museum was founded in 1956 to document the lifestyles of settlers from Antioquia and neighboring areas through historical objects. In the 1990s, an archaeological collection was added to show the earlier history of the region.

The museum displays how people in Antioquia lived during the 19th and early 20th centuries, with recreated rooms that preserve everyday items and crafts from that time. Visitors see personal objects and furniture that show how families once lived and worked.

The museum is open only certain days each week, so checking ahead before visiting is important. The house itself is small and does not require much time to explore completely.

The museum's archaeological collection contains items from the time before Spanish arrival in the region. These pieces show how early inhabitants of Antioquia lived hundreds of years ago.
