Gold Museum


Friday 2 May 2008

We visited the famous Gold Museum in Bogotá today. They're doing renovations, so we couldn't see the whole collection, but what we saw we really amazing. It's mind-boggling to think that 1, 2 thousand years ago these people had the same metal-working skills as goldsmiths today! This is a jaguar, a very important animal in the mythology of ancient Colombian cultures.
