EPM Water Museum, Interactive water education museum in La Candelaria, Colombia
The EPM Water Museum is a water education facility spread across four buildings with numerous interactive rooms. The exhibits use hands-on demonstrations and technological displays to explain how water works in nature and society.
The museum was created as an educational space to teach visitors about water's journey through Earth and human history. It traces how people have learned to manage and use water throughout the centuries.
The museum shows how water shapes daily life in this region and why it matters to the community. You can see how residents depend on it and what it means to them beyond just basic needs.
It's easiest to visit on weekdays when the space is less crowded and you can explore at your own pace. Guided tours are available for groups, so check ahead if you're coming with others.
The facility has specialized rooms that recreate different Colombian natural environments to show how water behaves differently in each climate zone. This hands-on experience helps you understand why water varies so much across the world.
