GOLD! Who doesn't love it? This was the one Colombian museum we had looked forward to visiting. It was very well done and had quite an incredible collection. With the price of gold these days, I completely understand why the Colombian SWAT team has a strong presence and the buildings around it are rigged up with all kinds of surveillance cameras.
We have to be pretty proactive before entering any kind of museum with a 3 and 5 year old. One strategy we have.... as soon as we enter the museum we head right to the gift shop.Our kids choose a couple of postcards of special items to find in the museum. Then the games begin.... it's a scavenger hunt to find the items in our postcards. The adults play too! Team T spent a good 3 hours combing the gold collections. The kids were totally into it.
There is a lot of gold here! It was quite impressive. They had quite a lot of English explanation as well. GOLD FEVER!
