EPM's Museo del Agua is in Parque de los Pies Descalzos. It mixes science, art and technology to explain why water matters and what sustainable development means. It opened in 2000 as the Museo Interactivo EPM and was renovated in 2012 with its current focus.

The visit has nine themed rooms, from the origin of the universe to modern aqueduct systems. You explore the physical and chemical properties of water, the ancient civilizations that built hydraulic systems, and Colombian landscapes recreated for the senses.

It works for families, students and anyone interested in science and the environment.
