The museum houses over a dozen exhibition halls, containing an impressive collection that spans periods from pre-Colombian to contemporary. At The Medellin Museum of Modern Art, you'll be able to see paintings, sculptures and photographs, among other mediums, by Colombian and international modern artists. In addition to its permanent collection, it often hosts fascinating temporary exhibits.
