Museum

By Richard McColl

The pride and joy of Medellin artists is the Museo de Arte Moderno. And so it should be: by placing an emphasis on homegrown Colombian talent it effectively displays the quality of art this nation produces.

Containing and exhibiting in the region of 1,400 pieces of art including works by recognized Colombian artists such as the painter Debora Arango, and sculptures from Hernando Tejada the MAMM is well worth a peek. Spend a morning or afternoon exploring the museum and the surrounding Suramericana district.

Not content with these works? Then stroll your way through the ever changing exhibits of photos, videos, design, architecture and recordings.

Getting There
Catch the metro to the Suramericana station and from there walk along Carrera 65 before turning right on the major road and walking a few bloks down.
