Museum of Antioquia

A wonderful museum well-worth visiting. I love that it’s in the heart of Plaza Botero, which is thriving with local vendors and everyday folks walking around. I like that the museum isn’t overwhelmingly large, you can actually be engaged the whole visit.

One of my favorite museums in Colombia. The Botero works are incredible in person, and the surrounding plaza adds to the energy. Always feels vibrant but never overwhelming.

Must do if you’re visiting Medellin. 46,000 for entrance for foreigners. Free guide in English on Mondays 11 as well as other free guide in Spanish during the week at 14. We had an amazing experience with our knowledgeable guide. 5 stars!

Great experience at the Museum of Antioquia. Good collection of 20th century modern art by Colombian artists like Botero. Nice large building and galleries. A little warm inside, nice little cafe, wished the gift shop were larger and offered more items.

Foreigner price is 40000 cop just FYI. There were great amount of paintings which I really enjoyed a lot. Lot of the foot traffic was on the Botero exhibit on the third floor but my favorite was the works of Francisco Antonio Cano Cardona exhibit located on the first floor (As of Aug 2025). I actually really enjoyed the museum itself and wish that I could give it five stars but I had to take one star away since the museum is located in a pretty shady area. And it is actually located inside a square so you have to walk a bit to get the museum from your uber and vice versa. With me sticking out like a sore thumb as a tourists, I was approached by lady of the night, a drug seller, and some homeless person literally all within half block walk to my Uber. "No, esta bien, gracias" was repeated over and over by me until I was able to get in my Uber.

Very nice Museum with lots of art work 🖼 from colombian 🇨🇴 artist Fernando Botero, Francisco Cano, Ana Mercedes Hoyos and other artists from South America. The building is a three level plus basement, so it takes about 2.5 hours to fully capture all of the art work 🖼. There are staircase and elevators 🛗 on the front and back of the Museum. They have a restaurant, book store and souvenir shop. Restrooms 🚻 are only on the first floor and on one side of the building. I recommend visiting this Museum at least once. 👍👍

The Museum of Antioquia is a beautiful and impressive space with three floors full of art to explore. It’s quite big, and you can find a wide range of styles—from modern pieces to older works—each offering a unique perspective through the eyes of different artists. Entry is reasonably priced, and the flow of visitors makes it comfortable to walk through; it wasn’t overcrowded when I went, but it wasn’t empty either, so you still feel the energy of the place. You really get the chance to take your time and enjoy the exhibits. Highly recommend if you’re in Medellín!

It's a large museum with various of art forms. Really interesting display and there was 3 floors available. It's definitely worth the visit as it focuses on colombian artists, especially Botero
