While the Spanish did not find their El Dorado, gold was widely used in ancient South American cultures. The Gold Museum in Bogotá has a very extensive collection and brilliant display of all kinds of uses of gold.
The exposition focuses on Colombia, and you can actually see finds from artifacts found in old cultures from the different regions of the country. If those tombs in the south were empty, here you can find samples of the beautiful golden creations that were sent off with the dead. Some objects are very small, finely decorated, and make you look at them for a long time. Others are surprisingly big, life-size masks, shields, breastplates... Some of those big articles are finely decorated, too, with animals, faces, geometrical patterns. You can find almost anything you can imagine in gold.
