Inspiring art, mind-blowing science, and the world-famous works of Fernando Botero are waiting for you with the Medellín City Card: Museums.

Your card allows you entry to three of the city's greatest institutions: the Medellín Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Antioquia, and Parque Explora. From famous artists to fabled prehistoric creatures, there's no shortage of inspiration and education with this pass.

Medellín Museum of Modern Art

The Medellín Museum of Modern Art is home to an important collection of art by Colombians and Antioquians, whose work represents the cultural, social, and political themes in Colombia's recent past.

Inside you'll see work by the best-known Colombian artists, like the politically charged paintings of Débora Arango. You can create your own soundscapes inside the sound experimentation laboratory, and the museum also boasts a cool and quiet atmosphere, welcoming visitors to its many terraces and outdoor spaces.

Museum of Antioquia

Immerse yourself in the history of Colombia through the artwork of Fernando Botero, Pedro Nel Gómez, and more.

The museum is home to a stunning collection, detailing the Pre-Columbian era, colonial period and beyond, with much of the art donated by the world-famous Fernando Botero. Botero's work is famed for its amusing, exaggerated volume – often brushed with political messages and social critique – and there's no denying it's the museum's star attraction.

There are 17 rooms to explore, and inside you'll find a vast array of work, including photographs, paintings, drawings, cartoons and sculptures by Colombian and international creators, all reflecting the country's eventful history.

Parque Explora

Inside Parque Explora, you'll find South America's largest freshwater aquarium and search out the fascinating inhabitants of Parque Explora's lively vivarium. You can even become part of the scientific experiments with hands-on activities dedicated to biodiversity, neuroscience, relativity, thermodynamics, and physics.

Through more than 300 stimulating activities, subjects like biodiversity, neuroscience, relativity, thermodynamics, and physics all come to life. And don't forget to visit prehistoric beasts at the dinosaur exhibition!
