The 6 Best Specialty Museums in Cali, Valle del Cauca Department
The site of the 2013 World Games, Cali is the sporting epicenter of Colombia. Pristine golf courses and countless opportunities for adventure sports in local parks, mountains and deserts are a big draw. Cultural attractions in Cali reflect the area’s rich indigenous history and European influence. Visit an archaeological park to experience tombs, ruins and cave paintings, or celebrate with the locals at a cultural festival. Show off your salsa in a lively nightclub, then spend the next morning recovering with an aromatic cup of that famous Colombian coffee.

As a family of four (my husband and our two adult daughters) we visited this exhibition in December 2017 and were very impressed. It's an excellent and vast collection of various means of transportation worth spending an afternoon or even a day to look at it closely. We are very grateful to Mr. Jose Guillermo Pardo for his passionate and detailed tour and historical knowledge. It is this type of exhibits that make me very proud of my hometown, Cali. Keep up the excellent work and I hope the city of Cali can provide additional funds to expand the exhibition to fit more airplanes and trains.

Great exposure to both a spanish colonial hacienda and the history of Panela production throughout the whole country. Definitely worth the drive from Cali.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 98 reviews
The MUSA houses the largest and most diverse collection of pre-Columbian ceramic pieces in Colombia, which are exhibited at its venues in Bogotá and Cali. The museum's collection shows not only the aesthetic variety of pre-Columbian peoples, but can also serve as a window to research their sophisticated ways of understanding and explaining life, death and the world. Today, we hold thirteen thousand objects representing the main cultures that inhabited the country: Tairona, Muisca, Guane, Quimbaya, Calima, Nariño, Sinú, Tumaco, San Agustín, Tierradentro, among others.

Fascinating good value museum. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Cali as it holds some interesting and well displayed pre-Columbia’s artefacts. There are good English translations as well. Housed in a beautiful and well-kept Colonial building with a lovely garden courtyard with hummingbirds. Just lovely.
