Built in 1583 and formerly an Augustinian cloister, this is certainly one of the oldest surviving buildings in Bogotá. The Museum has a fantastic collection of wares crafted by Colombia's vast array of indigenous tribes. If you can't get to the various parts of Colombia where the arts and crafts are made, then you might enjoy the museum's gift shop. It'll certainly spare you the traveling.
