The National Museum is one of the biggest and most important museums of the country. As a result of anthropological research, donations, and acquisitions, the National Museum of Colombia has built a collection of more than 20,000 objects that are symbols of national history and heritage. The collections include remains of the first inhabitants and material culture of prehispanic societies, objects from current indigenous and Afro-Colombian ethnography, evidence of different periods of the nation's history, and works of artistical value that range from the colonial period through the works of recent artists.

The Museum offers 17 permanent exhibition galleries with more than 2,500 pieces currently on display, a calendar of temporary exhibitions that allows its visitors to be in touch with important national and international displays of history, art, and archaeology, and a varied educational and cultural program that includes seminars, lectures, concerts, video, theatrical and dance performances.

This emblematic place hosts a wide range of events that tend to promote and transmit knowledge and permanent discussion about cultural history and the present of the communities, not just in Colombia but also around the world. It also offers a series of publications that compile material on the Museum's collections as well as the memoirs of its exhibitions and other relevant events.

With the development of new technologies such as the website, the Museum is constantly creating new and contemporary ways of being in touch with its public.
