Taminango Museum
Museo Taminango de Artes y Tradiciones Populares
A folk museum in a 17th-century colonial adobe house, showing traditional crafts and everyday objects of Nariño.
The Taminango Museum occupies an adobe colonial house built in the 17th century, and is considered one of the oldest surviving houses in Pasto. The museum displays traditional everyday objects, wood carvings, Pasto lacquerware (barniz de Pasto, an intangible cultural heritage craft that decorates wooden objects with resin flakes), basketry and textiles from the Nariño region. It also recreates a kitchen and workshop from the past. It is modest in size but full of local character, and admission is inexpensive.
