"Set within the Banco de la República’s museum complex, the Botero Museum offers a sampling of paintings and sculptures by famed Colombian artist Fernando Botero, best known for his still lifes and his exaggeratedly rotund human figures. Botero donated 123 of his own pieces to the institution, as well as 85 from his personal collection—including treasures by Chagall, Picasso, Monet, and Miró. The gracious colonial-era mansion includes an area that displays contemporary Latin American and European artworks. Audio guides are available in English, French, and Spanish. By Travesías"

Where to Stay in Bogotá When You Visit (Updated 2025)

"I visited the Botero Museum, which I found to be one of the main things to see in La Candelaria and conveniently within walking distance of other central attractions." - Matthew Kepnes

Did not know Botero, enjoyed his style which is rather unique. The bronze sculptures do provoke a smile. Donated other paintings from Picasso and Max Ernst beside others. Happy to have visited this free museum. Recommended!!

Super fun, unpretentious place, give it a try even if art isn’t your thing. I’ve never seen so many people (of all ages) just walking around smiling in an art museum. Kids clearly enjoy it. Although Botero seems cartoonish at first, I feel like I understand his worldview better after seeing the kind of modern art that he collected. In his own complex, ironic way, his rounded chubby shapes and recurring faces were an artistic testament too. If you make it over to Medellín, go see his outdoor sculpture there that survived a bombing in the 1990s.

To truly appreciate Ferdinand Botero’s wry sense of humor unique artistry is to see up close in person a large body of his artwork including his sculptures housed together in this museum. Extra bonus is his private collection of internationally famous artists from Picasso to Giacometti. Free admission to not just locals but also to foreigners which to my mind reflects the non judgemental ways and generous spirit of the Columbian people.

This is an amazing museum you can visit for free in Bogotá. The collections of Botero (and others) are displayed here for everyone to see. It is a great place to relax for a moment and enjoy the art. The works of Botero are quite amusing to look at. The museum has a beautiful open courtyard with a relaxing ambience. There are toilets present. There are multiple museums connected to the backside of the building. This place is really worth a visit!

If you appreciate art, the Botero Museum is a must-visit while in Bogotá. It’s a beautiful and unique space that highlights Fernando Botero’s iconic oversized paintings and sculptures. The museum also includes works by legendary artists like Picasso, Monet, and Degas. Admission is completely free, the space is very clean, and the staff is friendly. Just be sure to keep your distance from the artwork. The layout is easy to walk through and doesn’t take long, so if you’re in the La Candelaria area, it’s definitely worth stopping by.

Really great museum! I didn't realize how much work Botero had done, and it's not all paintings. There are sculptures as well as pencil work in this collection. There is a nice courtyard in the middle of the museum (I was told the building us nearly 250 years old). The garden had a nice fountain and there is plenty to do if you want to grab a bite to eat or a cup of coffee. Bathrooms available.

The Botero Museum is a cultural gem in the heart of Bogotá. Its collection not only showcases some of Fernando Botero’s most iconic works but also includes pieces by great international masters such as Picasso, Dalí, Renoir, and Miró. Admission is free, making it a must-visit for both tourists and locals. The atmosphere is calm, the galleries are well maintained, and it’s the perfect place to enjoy art at your own pace. A space that beautifully blends history, art, and beauty in every corner.

An incredible space right in the heart of Bogotá’s Candelaria area. Free entry, with a vast collection of paintings and sculptures to explore. Very well maintained.
