Museo Arqueológico, Archaeological museum in La Candelaria, Colombia
The museum exhibits a collection of pre-Columbian ceramics, including domestic utensils, musical instruments, historical figures, and funerary urns from indigenous communities.
The Casa del Marqués de San Jorge, constructed in the late 17th century, houses this museum established in 1970 under the Fund for the Promotion of Culture.
The fifteen thousand original pieces in the collection present the artistic skills, customs, and worldview of pre-Hispanic indigenous populations throughout Colombia.
Located at Carrera 6 number 7-43, the museum offers monthly workshops where participants learn traditional ceramic creation techniques using clay methods.
The museum building combines Colonial and pre-Hispanic periods through its architecture and exhibits, including wall murals that illustrate past artistic expressions.
