Bogotá Museum - Casa Sámano

This guide to the Bogota Museum at Casa Samano opens with a laundry order restorers found in the plaster in 2007, written by the man who became New Granada's last Spanish viceroy, and follows what he ran from this house: a wartime tribunal system deciding who lived and who was shot. It traces his interrogation of a seamstress turned spy, Policarpa Salavarrieta, and the news that reached him from the battlefield at Boyaca. You're standing in the rooms he abandoned in a hurry, laundry still unwashed.
