View source for Social:List of Muisca museum collections

This is a '''list''' of '''museum collections''' pertaining to the '''Muisca'''. Most of the Muisca artefacts are housed in the Gold Museum, Bogotá, the museum with the most golden objects in the world. Other findings are in the Archaeology Museum in Sogamoso and in the Archaeology Museum of Pasca. Few artefacts are on display outside Colombia. Most of the objects outside Colombia are ''tunjos''; small offer pieces part of the Muisca religion.
