Parque del Chicó - Mercedes Sierra de Pérez
About This Museum
You'd never guess this peaceful oasis of gardens and a babbling stream exists right in the middle of bustling, modern Bogotá. The main attraction is the gorgeous colonial-era hacienda itself, which feels like stepping directly into a wealthy 18th-century family's home. Inside, you'll find their actual belongings—from delicate hand-painted ceramics and crystal glassware to deeply personal religious paintings. It’s not a stuffy museum; it feels more like you're a guest exploring a beautifully preserved piece of history.
Collection Highlights
Look for the intricate gold-leaf frames on the religious artwork and the stunning collection of fine, almost translucent, European glassware displayed in the old dining room.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away in the Chapinero neighborhood at Ak 7 #93-01, so it's a perfect escape from the city noise without having to travel far.
