    (Translated by Google) One of the 2 Origami museums in the world (the other is in Zaragoza). Very nice place, variety of pieces by different artists from all over the world. It is not very big, it can be covered in a short time. Very affordable ticket price as well (Original) Uno de los 2 museos de Origami que hay en el mundo (el otro está en Zaragoza).

    A small museum that tells the history of origami through photos, text and exhibits. It's very worth knowing. The price is small and children (and adults) will love it!

  • 5/5 Jazmín Ayelén B. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The museum exhibit is very beautiful. Incredible shapes made with Origami paper. Super recommended. It's small but worth a visit. They also sell books with the steps to learn how to make your own productions and recommend places to get the necessary materials. (Original) Muy hermosa la exposición del museo.

  • 5/5 Inlovelyblue 1 year ago on Google
    This was a fabulous museum. And one of the best in Colonia. I learnt so much from this museum. The staff were multilingual, friendly and excited by origami. They were able to explain all the techniques and tools. The museums displays are international and well laid out and catalogued. There are guide books available for use in the museum that explain the exhibits in a range of languages. And these books are free to use when exploring the exhibits. There are also QR codes on all the displays that explain each exhibit in English or Portuguese. I would say that this is definitely a must visit museum while in Colonia. You’ll learn a lot from this charming museum and the lovely lady who runs it.

  • 4/5 Bartolome T. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Something different for the curious with patience. From the outside, I did not expect to see the wonder I found. The folding of a sheet of paper, in the simplest way, achieves heterogeneous figures that seem alive, others, also with a single sheet, through intelligent calculation and exact folding achieves complex shapes, such as a scorpion or a dinosaur, without cutting paper and without a drop of cement. A small place but with an incredible charm. Very nice walk. Very accessible price. (Original) Algo diferente para curiosos con paciencia. De afuera, no esperaba ver la maravilla con la que me encontré. El plegado de una hoja de papel, de la forma más simple, logra figuras hetereas que parecen vivas, otras, también con una sola hoja, mediante el calculo inteligente y el plegado exacto logra formas complejas, como un alacrán o un dinosaurio, sin cortar el papel y sin una gota de cemento. Un lugar pequeño pero con un encanto increible. Muy lindo paseo. Precio muy accesible.

    (Translated by Google) It is a place to spend 10 minutes or 2 hours. The exhibited works amaze by the quality, beauty and work. There is history, videos, photographs and the great masters of origami. They also sell paper to make the piece or ornaments, pendants and books. Another great surprise from Colonia del Sacramento.

    This is a very unique and interesting museum. It is small, composed only of 3 small rooms, but has enough exhibition to captivate you for an hour. It has work of art from famous artists around the world. The entrance fee is just a few USD, so if you stumble across this place, it is worth checking it out.

    (Translated by Google) Everything in Cologne is beautiful. Do not expect a strong intact. They are ruins.And it is wonderful. The place is one of intense peace.

Hard to point out which day was more beautiful !!!! (Original) Tudo em Colônia é lindo. Não espere um forte intacto. São ruínas.E é maravilhoso. O local é de paz intensa.

    (Translated by Google) For those who like origami it is a mandatory stop, and for those who do not like it too. The truth was I marveled at the works on display (and I'm not a lover of origami). A super short but nice tour. The cost of entry is almost symbolic ($ 50 Uruguayans) Under 12 accompanied without free entry. (Original) Para los que les gusta el origami es una parada obligatoria, y al que no le gusta también. La verdad me maravillé con los trabajos expuestos (y no soy amante del origami).
