This house where the museum is located was renovated very well, so besides the museum you get to see how were the houses 450 yrs ago in this beautiful town of the Andes

Casa Museo Luis Alberto Acuna

Reviewed By jenedc2016 - Santa Rosa, United States

This is the home of an interesting Colombian artist who seems to be relatively little known in the US or anywhere outside Colombia. This makes it all the more worthwhile to visit. He lived here and the place is both museum to his art and his home. It has both a large collection of his own art, including paintings, sculptures, and tapestries, plus other art which he himself collected. Some of the art he did to decorate his home. It is located right on the Plaza Mayor in the heart of town and we found it to be one of our top places to visit in town.

Centro de Investigaciones Paleontologicas - CIP

Reviewed By KOSGS

Located 15 minutes bus ride outside of Villa de Leyva (take the ng to Santa Sofia), this small museum provides a really interesting activity for those interested in the prehistoric history of the region, and the country in general. 10000 COP to enter and this includes an informative guide in either Spanish or English, and we could tell the guide was incredibly passionate about her job and was very happy to answer all our questions. Probably only need to spend 45 minutes here, but museo El Fósil is conventiently located 100 metres across the road so you’re able to visit both museums in one morning/afternoon.
