Mercedes Sierra de Pérez Museum - El Chicó

About

This large house museum, surrounded by ten hectares of gardens with centennial trees, transports visitors to an old farm in the savannah of Bogota. Originally owned by Mercedes Sierra de Pérez, who donated it to the city in 1921 along with funds to establish a museum, this place has ten rooms, a chapel and an exhibition of objects collected by Mercedes during her travels through the four continents. The collection includes glassware, glass, porcelain, textiles, ceramics and gold and silverware, along with a display of everyday life. In 2005, the museum was renovated and organized into thematic spaces that reflect the materials of the pieces on display, such as European and American Goldsmithing, The Bathroom, The Chapel, Starry Sky, Combined Materials and the Doña Mercedes Room. We recommend exploring the beautiful gardens and the children's playground, as well as taking advantage of the farm to organize various types of fairs. Immerse yourself in this unique historical and cultural experience in the savannah of Bogota.
