Step by Step

Buying a ticket for the Museum of Antioch gives you access to the city's most renowned cultural institution. It is valid for one day, includes both permanent and temporary exhibitions and gives you the opportunity to appreciate the works of local artists.

It is best known for the works of Fernando Botero, whose fame is due to his portraits and sculptures depicting overweight people with an absorbed, distant, almost vacant gaze. Among the best are "Exvoto" (the artist's first donation to the museum), "Nuestra Señora de Colombia" and "Pablo Escobar muerto". Outside the museum grounds, in the centrally located Plaza Botero, there are several sculptures by the artist.

However, these are not the only permanent exhibitions, as there are others such as:

  • Promises of Modernity: the space dedicated to 20th century art, a period of contrasts in Medellín.
  • Histories to rethink: the environment where a real dialogue takes place that puts in "communication" the works of the 19th and 20th centuries with contemporary artistic creations.
  • Clay has a voice: a collection of ceramic objects from different periods, including pre-Columbian times.

Undoubtedly, an art experience not to be missed during your visit to Medellín.

    I was impressed by the museum's extensive collection, ranging from the pre-Columbian era to the colonial period and beyond.

    If I was already interested in Fernando Botero's style, seeing his work in person was even more impressive, it awakened my admiration for his artistic genius.

    Visiting the Museo de Antioquia was an eye-opening experience, as it symbolises the revitalisation of Medellín, despite the economic and political challenges the city has faced.
