Description

Colombia is a country with a great pre-Hispanic cultural heritage. The The material remains bear witness to the immense diversity of the Colombian territory. They are examples of adaptations, ways of life, customs, and thoughts. Ceramics are one of the most important elements of this archaeological heritage, and looking at them today allows us to better understand the past that continues to shape the present and our identities. On this tour, you will visit the Casa Marqués de San Jorge Archaeological Museum (MUSA), where you will see firsthand ceramic pieces from different pre-Columbian cultures, seeking to understand their meaning, uses, and characteristics. But since the best way to understand is to do, our experience continues at the Caja Negra Workshop, where you can experience the process of making a ceramic piece and giving shape to the present with the wisdom of the past.
