Established in 1823, the National Museum of Colombia is hosted since 1948 in the former Central penitentiary, known as the Panóptico. Today, it holds 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 pre-Hispanic 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 20th century.
