I didn't know anything about Botero's "body" of work prior to visiting this beautiful, small museum. What a pleasant surprise to enjoy his approachable and unusual artistic take on people. There were ... more »

The Museum has a great collection, very well organized. The pieces are beautiful ... is Botero, were donated by him to the Museum, and still has the works of other artists, such as Picasso, Miró, Chagall, which formed part of the private collection of the artist. This museum, along with the Mint and the Museum of modern art, are part of the museum complex of the Republic Bank of Bogota, all free! Not to be missed.

Amazing collection by great renowned Colombian artists, especially Fernando Botero. And what's even more amazing is that it is free. A must-see when in Bogota.

A must visit if you are in La Candelaria neighborhood or downtown. A historical area of the city. This museum has the permanent Botero art collection, The Moneda (currency) Museum and its Art museum. Also, the "Parqueadero" where contemporary exhibits can be seen. You can have tours in English and may even part of a workshop. I highly recommend to see the paintings of "Las Monjas Coronadas" which is a one of a kind style of painting. In one word the stories behind this collection are jaw dropping.

Botero's art was cool, but in the whole museum you couldn't even point at the paintings without the staff yelling at you, no matter how far back you were.

This whole complex is a must do in Bogotá. From the numismatic dream of old minting machines to exquisite art from all over Latin America, including a piece from my favorite, Ecuador's Guayasamín, this is an art lover's dream. Housed in an old colonial structure, the sprawling museum is sure to delight--and with regards to Botero's pieces, confuse.z
