Cultural House "gustavo Rojas Pinilla"
About This Museum
People come to this old house on Calle 17 not just for history, but to feel it. They're often curious about the man who gave the place its name, General Gustavo Rojas Pinilla, and his complicated legacy in a city as ancient as Tunja. Inside, you'll find quiet rooms that tell a quieter story of daily life, with photographs and personal objects that have outlasted political eras. Stepping back outside into the Boyacá sun, you're left with a sense of how many layers of history are stacked in this one spot.
Collection Highlights
The exhibits lean more on personal items and period photography than grand statements, giving you a glimpse into the domestic life of its time. It's the kind of place where an old chair or a faded portrait can feel more telling than any plaque.
Visitor Information
It's right there in the historic center at Cl. 17 #N°10-63—easy to stumble upon while wandering Tunja's cobbled streets. Just pop in; it's the sort of spot where you can spend a thoughtful half-hour away from the bustle.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a classic Colombian republican-style building, its whitewashed walls and tiled roof are a testament to the understated elegance of the period.
