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.

I love this museum complex. I make a point of visiting every time I am in Bogota. The Botero Museum is wonderful, but it's just a small part of the amazing collection on display here.

Fascinating look at the artist. Even though he is still alive, he let's museum keep all proceeds! Check it out, and walk around the area!

Many more things than just Botero art. To be honest, Botero is cute but it gets old pretty quickly when you have such a massive collection of everything you can imagine, just in fat versions. But there is plenty more to explore, so it's definitely worth a visit, and it's free!

Very nice free museum located near the city center. A lot of the most famous Botero paintings and sculptures are on display. Not a very large museum, can be done in about 30-45 minutes. We also walked through the modern art.musuem which was attached and that was also very nice.
