The Tequendama Falls Museum was built as a mansion in Columbia, in 1923. The Tequendama Falls Museum was initially built to celebrate the style and sophistication of the elite citizens of the 1920s. The mansion overlooks the Tequendama Falls on the Bogotá River. In 2003, the structure was converted into a Museum, as the Institute of Natural Sciences.
Amazing Fact: In the 1950s, the mansion was to be converted into an 18-room hotel. However, construction never started and the hotel was abandoned for over 2 decades because of the contamination of the river.
