    This is a nice break out of the sun, featuring some interesting pieces of art. It was 8.000 COP/person admission. It won’t take you more than an hour to browse the whole collection. The building itself is quite lovely.

    Good small museum but 2nd floor for a new exhibit setup was closed so only half the art. Good art overall with South American art and sculptures. Very inexpensive plus banos and fans. Worth a stop on a hot day.

    Beautiful place, a nice stop in a hot day, the collection of local artists and what they art represent in the history of the people is excelente. Will help if they have more ventilation air conditioner, but something for sure to do if you have the time

    Small gallery in a beautiful old colonial building. Make sure to download the audio app to talk you round the exhibits.

    I was skeptical of a small modern art museum but it turned out to be a very good visit. With google translate I could understand the helpful texts and learnt of important Colombian artists, particularly those associated with this charming city. There were some good international paintings from the exhibition in the 50s. Totally worth the 10k entrance fee!

    Beautiful museum that you can visit in just 30 minutes. It's a must to everyone who loves art. If I had to change something I'd like the museum to be bigger but the staff is lovely and the exhibitions are stunning. Would visit again.

  • 5/5 Lukas P. 1 year ago on Google • 35 reviews
    Very nice modern art museum in the heart of Cartagena. 10.000 entry for 2 levels of art and media. Definitely worth checking out while in the walled city!

  • 3/5 Chris W. 5 months ago on Google • 23 reviews
    It's ok, very hot inside with no fans or AC

  • 4/5 Jaime D. 8 months ago on Google • 21 reviews
    Art was great, well worth your time. Wish they had AC. I am no expert, but the art will likely deteriorate due to the heat.

  • 2/5 François-Olivier D. 2 years ago on Google
    Quite an uninteresting museum without any outstanding art. Only go there if you have already seen everything in Cartagena or have time to waste.

    Interesting museum, worth a visit on a rainy day

  • 5/5 Zach C. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice address, also a very cool little museum. Inexpensive to get into, tickets are 10 mil a person (maybe 2.50$ US at publication). 2 floors in an old colonial building full of Colombian and South American art that takes maybe 30 minutes to an hour to get through. It would take me longer but I don't understand all the Spanish in the descriptions. Maybe my Spanish will be good enough the next time I come to read every thing and then I can truly tell the full experience.

    Interesting selection, we had read that it was small but we actually spent more than one hour inside, reading all the texts that explain the context of the works very well. It's a pity that the paintings are not being properly preserved. There are only some fans, no AC, and several works have mold spots on the surface or bends and bumps in the canvas.

  • 2/5 Victoria C. 1 year ago on Google
    Borderline inhumane treatment of art. No AC, so all these works are constantly exposed to the heat and humidity of Cartagena. I hope they have really talented conservators working in the background, because if not, I dont think any of these works will last another 50 years... Small collection, nothing to write home about. However, price was very cheap to get in, so its very accessible to all.

(Original) Cuando vas caminando por la plaza San Pedro clavel te encuentras con simpáticas esculturas en la calle que van marcando la entrada al museo que fue el primero de arte moderno en el país en la época de 1960, donde se pueden encontrar obras y esculturas de Enrique grau ,Alejandro obregón, Cecilia porras artistas costeños llenos de color y surrealismo mágico caribeño , hay exposiciones de artistas invitados ,con una entrada económica todos los días hay servicio.
