207 - Museo de Arquitectura Leopoldo Rother
About This Museum
Tucked away on the National University campus, this isn't your typical museum. It's actually housed in the former Instituto de Crédito Territorial building, a masterpiece of Colombian modernism designed by its namesake, Leopoldo Rother. The museum itself is a living exhibit, dedicated entirely to the art and science of architecture. You get to walk through the very halls that helped shape the nation's urban landscape.
Collection Highlights
You'll find an incredible archive of Rother's original blueprints, architectural models of significant public housing projects, and vintage photographs that tell the story of mid-century Bogotá. It feels like stepping directly into the architect's studio.
Visitor Information
Wandering through this space is wonderfully intimate; it rarely feels crowded. Since it's on a university campus, there's a vibrant, creative energy all around. Just check their social media for current opening hours before you go.
Architecture & Building
A stunning example of rationalist architecture with clean lines, functional brickwork, and those beautiful, rhythmic brise-soleils that filter the Bogotá light.
