The Museo Militar de Colombia, also known as the Military Museum of Colombia, is a museum in Bogotá, in the Cundinamarca department. It is dedicated to the military history of Colombia and gathers weapons, uniforms and artifacts from various periods of the country's military heritage.
What you will see
The collection is arranged around the armed forces' past rather than a single story, so a visit gives a sense of how the country's military has changed over time. Visitors interested in military history will find the displays of weapons and uniforms especially useful for comparing eras.
