Facing a historic plaza in the walled city of Cartagena, this branch of Colombia's gold museums is devoted to the metalwork of the Zenú people of the northern Caribbean lowlands. Its displays present filigree ornaments, funerary objects, and ceramics from a culture renowned for intricate goldsmithing and sophisticated water-management engineering. Galleries interpret Zenú society, craft, and the meaning of gold. Housed in a colonial building within the fortified old town, it links ancient artistry to heritage streets.
