About This Museum

People come to Museo El Cocha Molina not just for history, but to feel the soul of Valledupar and the Cesar region. You walk in and are immediately wrapped in the story of this place, from its indigenous roots to the birth of vallenato music. It’s a deeply personal journey through time, curated with obvious passion. I left feeling like I'd finally understood the heartbeat of the city.

Collection Highlights

The exhibits on traditional vallenato music are incredible, featuring old accordions and photographs of legendary composers. You'll also find fascinating pre-Columbian pottery and artifacts that tell a much older story of the land and its original peoples.

Visitor Information

It's right in the heart of Valledupar at Cra. 6a #10-69, making it an easy stop while exploring downtown. With a perfect 5-star rating from over 500 visitors, you know you're in for a special experience.

Architecture & Building

Housed in a charming, traditional Colombian building with a warm, welcoming facade that feels more like a local home than a formal institution.
