Lonely Planet review

Continuing on the Bolívar trail, this museum has successfully preserved its colonial style and displays a variety of independence memorabilia, from muskets to medals and shaving sets to swords. It also has some fascinating documents and letters written by the man himself, as well as numerous portraits.

A bit on the morbid side are the coffin in which the remains of Bolívar were brought from Santa Marta in Colombia, and the arca cineraria (funeral ark) that conveyed his ashes to the Panteón Nacional.
