This is a small gold museum, but is free, so it is worth seeing it if you have the time. It probably take you no more that 30 minutes

Can't beat the price and the exhibits are nicely done. The gold was amazing, but I especially liked learning about the Zenu and the way they managed the flooding and their farming.

The Gold Museum, sponsored by a local bank, has gold and pottery displays dating from pre-Columbian people through the Spanish conquest. Explanations are in both Spanish and English.

A nice little museum which explores the history of the indigenous people of the area. There are good explanations in English and admission is free. The gold artefacts are beautiful and delicate and well worth seeing.

The gold museum in Bogota was much more impressive. However, Cartagena's gold museum was free and air conditioned. Information was also available in English. You may as well visit while in the walled city. The gold museum is very close to the cathedral, Bolivar plaza and Inquisition museum. It is closed on Mondays.

While this museum was small, it was a great part of our day to walk around a learn a bit more about the history of Colombia's indigenous peoples and the art of gold and metal working. Definitely recommend watching some of the short films in the small theater, they were fascinating.

We enjoyed the exhibits, which focused on the metallurgic work of Colombia's indigenous peoples. It absolutely worth a stop.

The museum was a respite from the heat and humidity. It's small, free and the descriptions are in Spanish and English which made it easier to enjoy this museum.

I spend 40 minutes there. There's nothing overwhelming, but it's great way to get to know more about Zenu culture. Moreover, the museum is free and located in the centre of wall city.

Excellent small museum, nothing on the scale of the Gold Museum in Bogota. Closed Mondays. Free admission. Excellent displays, very educational with info in both Spanish and English. Good video of various styles of gold molding and finishing processes.
