This small collection of pre-Columbian stone, textile, ceramic work, and requisite gold pieces, including some very fine, 2,500-year-old filigree pieces, provides excellent explanations about pre-Conquest, indigenous trade routes in the Americas, and the cultural beliefs and practices of the Proto-Pasto (Piartal and Capulí) peoples (Spanish only).

In the same building is the Banco de la Nación library.
