Introduction
The Museo del Caribe in Barranquilla is Colombia's only national museum systematically presenting the Caribbean region's nature, history and diversity. Its permanent exhibits—vivid installations, footage and oral histories—tell of the tropical coast's migrations, music and dance (Vallenato, Cumbia), myths and everyday life, with a dedicated hall to Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez, honoring the literary giant born in this region. Modern, airy and interactive, it is the best gateway to the 'Caribbean soul of Colombia' and a must on any cultural trip to carnival city Barranquilla.
