Visiting Tips
The permanent exhibition is bilingual, Spanish-English.
Entrance is free for all on Sundays, but the Museum is crowded and we cannot offer guided tours. However, you can rent an audioguide in English, French or Spanish.
The Gold Museum reserves the right to inspect purses, briefcases and packages as employees and visitors enter and leave the premises. Our cloakroom is free of charges.
In the Gold Museum in Bogotá and in the regional branches you can take touristic pictures and videos, for personal noncommercial use and for free, without using tripods, lights or flashes. As the flashes specifically deteriorate the archaeological objects, they are restricted. You may publish low resolution images and videos in web 2 sites as YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr. Journalists, professionals, see Other cases
Food and drink are not allowed in the Museum's galleries, enjoy them at the Restaurant and the Cafe.
