So this is just oodles of clothing photos. I think it's interesting but I doubt anyone else will. I've looked for information like this before about Colombia, and could never find anything, even when I tried searching in Spanish on other platforms. So while I didn't take a photo of EVERY outfit at the museum, I did take quite a few. I did try to take photos of the information, somewhat because I wanted to figure out what they said when I had more time and better Spanish translators at my disposal. My kids certainly were only patient enough for me to snap photos let alone read things in a language I can barely stumble through. But to start off, here's a lot of the indigenous clothing. I'm really curious about how much the above styles were influenced by Europeans and vice versa, but I don't think there was anything explaining more details.
I love the feathers.
So fascinating and gorgeous cloth!!!
Afro clothing due to all the slave trade.
And then there is oodles of regional folkwear costumes.
Aw, another outfit I've very familiar with. I have an adorable photo of my husband dressed up like this when he's like 6 or 7 years old. So cute!
The famous Colombian hats, sombreros vueltiao.
And mochilas.

This is one of the outfits I've seen a lot. Although, it's really a dress for Cumbia dancing, and so it's used all over now, but it started on the Caribbean coast.
This one I recognize too.
If you haven't noticed, I like embroidered details.
I love the drama of these outfits. And notice how Jubal--my 9 yr old, is almost as tall as the man who wore this suit.
This was more an everyday outfit for the average bogotaño male back in the 1600-1800s. Ruanas are timeless.
I love the boldness of this dress. So fun!
