How to get there

Plaza Botero — Centro

Open in Google Maps WhatsApp

Botero's collection at home: the Museo de Antioquia, facing the plaza of his sculptures. Twentieth-century Colombian art with the Spanish conversation that puts it in context.

No dates available right now.

Fernando Botero gave Medellín more than a hundred works on one condition: that the museum entrance face the plaza where his sculptures live. The result is one of the most beloved museums in Colombia.

We walk the collection talking about volume, humour and politics — Botero is much more than "chubby figures" — and finish in the plaza, practicing the art vocabulary we just learned. The museum entry fee is paid separately and may vary by season.
