Medellin, Colombia - Botero

Museo Antipoquia
This is not the Botero museum per se, but his work dominates.  He is the most famous artist from Medellin and has donated many of his paintings, drawings and sculptures so they can be viewed together.


His sculptures are spread throughout the plaza adjoining the museum.  This is a shot from the museum's front steps.

He was born in 1932 in Medellin and is still alive, spending most of his time in Monte Carlo and Tuscany.


There was a floor dedicated to his most recent works, many depicting the torture and death of Christ.



On the 2nd floor we found his most famous works.

A few depicted the death of Pablo Escobar.
