It is the most representative museum of the Muisca Culture in the country, with more than 70 years of history, located in an archaeological reserve area, corresponding to the ancient settlement of Suamox, the abode of the Sun in Chibcha language.
One of the sites of scientific, tourist and cultural value is the Suamox Archaeological Museum founded in 1940 by anthropologist Eliécer Silva Celis.
This museum preserves the most important archaeological pieces of the Muisca culture, as well as the record of the old Chibcha cemetery, whose tombs presented the most important demonstrations of the industry developed by our ancestors in the matter of the art in animal bone, in mineral coal, in threads in fibers, basketry, weapons, utensils, elements of war, sacred instruments and musical aspects of the phallic cult, and Muisca medicine.
In addition to the above, on this site was carried out the construction of the Temple of the Sun, to recover the one that was burned by the Spaniards at the time of the conquest, as is known the sun was the maximum deity of our aborigines, hence this temple is so important for the study of Colombian culture.
