Archeological Museum of Pasca, Archaeological museum in Pasca, Colombia.

The Archaeological Museum of Pasca exhibits 2,500 archaeological pieces including pre-Columbian artifacts, human remains, and specimens from various indigenous cultures of Colombia.

The museum contains artifacts from multiple indigenous groups including the Muisca, Tairona, Calima, Quimbaya, Sinú, San Agustín, and Tierradentro civilizations.

Located at Calle 1 with Carrera 5 in Pasca, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday and maintains educational programs for students and researchers.

The collection features a replica of the Muisca golden raft, representing the El Dorado ceremony, and preserves a rare piece of Muisca textile from Belén, Boyacá.
