Abstract In January 2011, we summoned in Colombia an international group of scholars/ activists to discuss the complexities of the relationship between archaeology, "illicit" excavations, museums, and indigenous peoples from a comparative gaze. The three-day workshop took place in Bogotá and Villa de Leyva. One of the events we set up during the Bogotá's leg of the workshop was a visit to the Museo del Oro. In the museum's cafeteria, we talked about what we had just seen, sensed and thought, and there emerged these impressions in which astonishment lives alongside an urge to say something. In Villa de Leyva we decided that each participant would write a vignette about her/his visit to the Museo del Oro.

Keywords : Museo del Oro; representations; indigenous peoples; archaeology.
