Abstract
En el siglo XVIII, Antonio Caballero y Góngora fue un personaje notable para América y España, ya que ocupó los cargos de: obispo de Yucatán, arzobispo de Santa Fe de Bogotá, virrey de la Nueva Granada y, por último, arzobispo de Córdoba. Un clérigo que se caracterizó por ser uno de los primeros ilustrados que tuvo bajo su poder una amplia compilación de libros en varios idiomas, pinturas y objetos artísticos de notables artífices europeos, una vasta colección de numismática y una gran diversidad de objetos científicos que constituían su inseparable equipaje. Aunque en la actualidad existen muchos estudios que tratan su desempeño en el territorio neogranadino y cordobés, aún queda un aspecto que no ha sido estudiado del todo: el menaje con el que pisa por primera vez tierras americanas en 1776 y que trasladó por tres provincias. Un tema que permitirá entender parte de su cultura material.

A topic that will allow to understand a part of the material culture contained in his luggage.
