Museum of AntioquiaMuseo de Antioquia

Antioquia Museum, founded in 1881, is Medellín’s oldest art museum and a civic mirror for how the region has imagined identity, modernity, and belonging. Facing Plaza Botero, its collection traces Colombian painting and sculpture through works such as Francisco Antonio Cano’s Horizontes (1913), while Fernando Botero’s celebrated donations give the museum a rare public afterlife, extending its presence into the square as monumental bronzes.
