Colombian Military Museum, Military museum in La Candelaria, Colombia.

The Colombian Military Museum is a military museum in Bogota's historic center that collects weapons, uniforms, medals, and historical documents from different periods. The rooms are organized by theme and display the evolution of the armed forces across several centuries.

The museum opened on 6 August 1982. Its building was erected between 1911 and 1913 on the grounds of the house where Captain Antonio Ricaurte, a hero of Colombian independence, had lived. Before the museum took over, the building housed the School of Engineering and the School of Fine Arts.

The museum shows how the military shaped Colombian society and what role it played in the country's daily life. The displayed items tell stories of the people who belonged to these institutions and their influence on national identity.

The building is located in the historic center and is easy to reach on foot, with clear signs at the entrances. Most exhibitions are indoors, so any time of year works for a visit.
