Gold Museum hosts Trazos sobre piedra until 27 November

Gold Museum (Museo del Oro) in Bogota is presenting Trazos sobre piedra, an exhibition about ancient rock art from La Lindosa, until 27 November 2026. The temporary display is organised by Banco de la República and remains open during the final weeks of its run in Colombia.

The exhibition gives travellers from Western Europe a current reason to visit the museum before the temporary gallery changes. Its subject is not the museum’s gold collection itself, but the painted rock shelters of Cerro Azul and other sites in the La Lindosa range in Guaviare.

Trazos sobre piedra ends at the museum on 27 November

The operator lists the exhibition from 28 November 2025 to 27 November 2026 at the museum’s temporary exhibition gallery. The same listing identifies the venue as the Gold Museum in Bogota and names Judith Trujillo of the museum as curator. The official exhibition listing describes the display as an archaeological presentation of paintings from La Lindosa.

Visitors encounter images of animals, human figures, geometric forms, hands, lines and spirals. The exhibition places these marks within a wider discussion of symbolic thought, social life and knowledge among the people who created them. Its focus on painted landscapes connects the museum’s urban gallery with a cultural site in Colombia’s Amazonian foothills.

La Lindosa connects rock art with the museum collection

La Lindosa forms part of a landscape of rock walls, caves and ecological zones where the Amazonian and Orinoco regions meet. The official exhibition material identifies three major rock-art areas in the range: Nuevo Tolima, Raudal del Guayabero and Cerro Azul.

The display also sits within the longer history of the institution. Banco de la República began protecting Colombia’s archaeological heritage in 1939, when it acquired a Quimbaya lime container that became the first object in its archaeological collection. The museum collection history records the continuing work of preserving and presenting archaeological objects from across the country. In that setting, the exhibition extends the museum’s subject from worked metal to painted stone and the landscapes that carry it.
