- The temporary exhibition Trazos sobre piedra remains at the Gold Museum until 27 November 2026.
- Large photographs and research present rock art from La Lindosa for the general public in Bogota.
- The Banco de la República museum holds one of Colombia’s major collections of pre-Hispanic goldwork.
The Gold Museum (Museo del Oro) in Bogota is keeping its temporary exhibition Trazos sobre piedra: pinturas milenarias en la serranía de La Lindosa on view until 27 November 2026. The show examines ancient rock paintings from the La Lindosa range in Colombia through large-format photographs and research presented for the general public.
Gold Museum keeps La Lindosa exhibition open until 27 November
Trazos sobre piedra translates as Lines on stone and focuses on the rock art of the Serranía de La Lindosa, an area in the Colombian Amazon region. The exhibition brings that material into a museum setting in central Bogota, where visitors can encounter images of painted rock surfaces rather than travelling to the remote landscape itself.
The exhibition has a clear closing date inside the current travel window. It remains available through 27 November 2026, giving the show a specific final period for visitors planning a city break in November. Canal Capital’s exhibition guide places the show at the Gold Museum, gives its Carrera 6 address and describes it as open to the general public.
Rock paintings connect La Lindosa with Colombia’s gold museum
The subject shifts the museum visit from metalwork to painted stone, but it remains closely connected to the institution’s wider archaeological remit. The photographs and research make the rock surfaces, markings and surrounding landscape the central material of the temporary display.
The Banco de la República, which operates the museum network, describes the Bogota institution as holding one of the world’s most important collections of pre-Hispanic goldwork. That permanent identity gives the temporary show a particular setting: a museum known for Colombia’s metalworking heritage is also presenting evidence of visual traditions preserved on distant rock walls.
For a traveller, the combination is concrete rather than thematic alone. A visit before 27 November 2026 can include the temporary exhibition alongside the museum’s archaeological collections, while the large photographic works provide a view of Guaviare’s La Lindosa without treating the temporary gallery as a substitute for the original site. The museum network’s institutional profile confirms the collection’s role in Colombia’s historical identity.
