Quimbaya Museum, Pre-Hispanic art museum in Armenia, Colombia
The Quimbaya Museum displays a collection of 390 gold artifacts, 104 ceramic pieces, and 22 stone sculptures from pre-Columbian civilizations.
The Banco de la República established this institution in 1986 to safeguard Colombian archaeological heritage, opening its doors to the public in 1987.
The museum exhibits feature detailed metalwork and pottery that demonstrate the technical skills and artistic expressions of the Quimbaya, Embera, and other indigenous tribes.
Located at Avenida Bolívar 40 Norte 80, the museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with free admission.
The museum building, designed by Colombian architect Rogelio Salmona, received the National Architecture Prize in 1988 for its modern interpretation of regional elements.
