Museo del Oro Zenú - Museum Cartagena - Colombia
Museo del Oro Zenú is an informative and surprisingly educational gold museum. It is nicely curated and features pre-Colombian gold from the Zenú nation that lived on the Golfo de Morrosquillo and Sinú River valley (200 BC-1600 AD). Displays explain that the gold was used for burial and other ceremonies. In the Zenú tradition, gold was placed in urns, then the urns were buried under trees to symbolize fertility and new life. One wing on the second floor explains the agriculture and resources used during pre-colonial times. A six-minute video in English, French or Spanish, describes how canals were built for agricultural purposes.
