Museo del Oro
Another fascinating museum that I visited was el Museo del Oro, or Gold Museum. As you can imagine, the museum is dedicated to gold works. It is the biggest collection of pre-Hispanic gold works in the world. The museum has around 55,000 pieces, almost 34,000 of which are gold pieces. The other pieces are works of bone, stone, ceramic, and textiles. I saw gold pieces from the many different cultures that inhabited Colombia before the arrival of the Spanish. There were pieces from the Calima, the Quimbay, the Muisca, and Zenú, among others. There were pieces of jewelry, decorative sculptures, figurines, and even storage vessels all made of gold!
Perhaps the most famous piece in the museum is the Muisca Raft. This is an impressive pre-Colombian figure made of gold that depicts a raft made of logs upon which there is a chief in headdress with his soldiers who are carrying banners. It is an intricate piece that represents the ceremony of a legend called El Dorado. In this ceremony, the next heir to the chief would cover himself in gold. With gold and emerald offerings to the gods, he would jump into the lake.
Miraculously, this piece was found by three farmers in a cave in 1969. It was found inside of a ceramic pot. Now it is one of the most important pieces in the museum for all to enjoy.
