Bogotá Museum of Modern Art MAMBO
About This Museum
People come to MAMBO not just to see art, but to feel the pulse of modern Colombia. You'll find yourself wandering from a room of Fernando Botero's early, surprisingly slender figures straight into a courtyard where the shadows of Eduardo Ramírez Villamizar's geometric sculptures stretch across the concrete. It’s a place that breathes, with light pouring into its central atrium and the quiet hum of thought in its galleries. You leave feeling like you've traced a part of the city's soul, one bold brushstroke at a time.
Collection Highlights
Look for Botero's 'Mona Lisa, Age 12' and the powerful installations by Beatriz González that re-imagine historical moments. The permanent collection walks you through Colombian art from the mid-20th century to today.
Visitor Information
It's right there in the heart of Bogotá, near La Candelaria, so it's easy to pop in after exploring the historic center. Don't miss the top-floor restaurant for a coffee with a view over the museum's interior.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a striking brutalist building designed by architect Rogelio Salmona, famous for its raw concrete, brick, and clever use of water features and winding ramps.
