About Museo de América
This museum houses an impressive collection of pre-Columbian art and artifacts from the Americas, including Mayan codices and Inca treasures. The collection spans from prehistoric times to the present, showcasing indigenous cultures of North, Central, and South America. It's rarely crowded despite its world-class collection.
Insider Tips
Enter through the main entrance on Reyes Católicos and take the elevator directly to the second floor to see the Mayan codex first, when your attention is sharpest
Most visitors rush through the gold room, but spend time with the Quimbaya pieces in the far corner: the craftsmanship detail is invisible from the doorway
The museum café closes at 2 PM, so grab coffee before your visit or plan to eat elsewhere afterward
