Museum Day
While we believe that cities themselves are truly living museums, sometimes museum collections are worth the time indoors! Our favorite Bogotá museums start with the Museo del Oro Gold Museum for lovers or gems and precious metals. We are also sure you’ll enjoy the Botero Museum which is full of the large and exaggerated figures that hint at Botero’s political criticism and humar. History and economy buffs will not want to miss Museo de La Moneda. All in all an exciting cultural opportunity!
