It's larger than I imagined. Take some time to visit! The second floor is also great. Love this place. And you can take pictures of Botero's work! In the Museum of Antioquia in Medellin they don't allow you to take photos!

It's a free museum that is centrally located and deserves a short visit. It includes some of Botero's best works (and very few works by others). The house in which the museum is located is nice with a lovely garden and nice view of the mountains. I do wish the museum was better curated. There are almost no explanations anywhere in the museum and the arrangement of the works look, at times, almost random. That's too bad and different from what most museums do nowadays.

Be sure to start the tour I’m heading to the modern art museum, next-door, and getting in our you guide on the gift shop. It cost 20,000 pesos and had options in Spanish, English, and one other language. I found it really insightful. Overall, I didn’t really get Botero, and the audio guide didn’t really help me access what is special about his work. But it did really help me with other aspects of the collection, and open my eyes to new ways of appreciating art.

There may be Galleries to rival this but in all my travels this stands out. The twentieth century is the star with paintings and sculptures from the stars. If you haven’t seen a Boterovit is worth the fare from anywhere. The appreciation of the human body is intense. The collection of great paintings and sculptures is exquisite. No criticism can be levied. It is, for me, the finest attraction in Sourh America. See it for your pleasure and for the remarkable gift to Columbia by Botero.

Only 2 floors however they cram a lot in. Some amazing pieces by Botero but also a few from the likes of Picasso etc. Not too busy when I went and it's nicely arranged around a quiet courtyard. Free entry and they have free wifi which is a tourist's dream. I had lunch at a little cafe/restaurant accessed out one of the side doors which was nice.

Free museum full of the paintings and sculptures of Botero. Also art by various artists like Freud and Dali. All set in lovely building with courtyard and cafe near by in the linked art museum of Banco de la Republic.

Having come across Botero's sculptures in various places over the years, Barcelona, Yerevan, Armenia etc, it was very interesting to see lots of his work, both art and sculptures. Obviously in his own unique style you will either like, be amused and appreciate his work or just not get it. I am of the former. Quite a number of other works by famous leading artists such as Picasso, Gustav Klimt, Henry Moore and others

The museum is located in a very nice colonial building with a agreden in the middle. The artwork are presented in fine surroundings and good space to enjoy Boteros works. There are also paintings and sculptures from his private collection from other artists like Picasso and Max Ernst.

The museum naturally focusses on Botero's paintings and sculpture with its humorous and individually styled view of people but it was surprising to see the range of other artists work which has come from Botero's personal collection of art and donated to the museum he curated in 2010 including great examples of modern and impressionist, post impressionist, cubist and surrealist  art. Many notable artists are featured including Toulouse-Lautrec, Renoir, Picasso, Miro, Max Ernst, Lucien Freud, Henry Moore, Degas and Matisse. A most enjoyable visit.

We did the Botero Tour in Medellin, which was fantastic. So in Bogota decided to walk through the donated exhibit in Bogota. It is fabulous! This is a famous artist whose work is thought provoking. He is still alive and donated his work so people could enjoy it for free! Whether your into art or not this museum is worth your time!
