Museo de Trajes

This guide to the Museo de Trajes in Bogotá opens in a cave in Santander, where two of Colombia's first trained female anthropologists, Edith Jiménez de Muñoz and Blanca Ochoa, found scraps of ancient Guane weaving that convinced them regional dress was vanishing unrecorded. You'll hear how their village-by-village research through the 1950s became a book, then this 1975 museum, housed in a colonial building with its own history tied to Antonio Nariño. Visit on the last Friday of the month, when the courtyard hosts textile workshops and folk dance.
