MAMBO: La Colección

The Bogotá Museum of Modern Art, MAMBO, showcased 50 years of Colombian art under one roof starting at the end of February when it opened its doors to ‘La Colección’ (1963-2013). Having reached a half century as this country’s most important contemporary art venue, the MAMBO created an “art anthology” for the special celebration, bringing to light hundreds of paintings and sculptures by the nation’s leading artists, among them large masterpieces by Alejandro Obregón, Fernando Botero, Edgar Negret, Debora Arango, Eduardo Villamizar, Juan Antonio Roda and Santiago Cárdenas, to name but a few.

With 4,300 pieces in its entire collection, the MAMBO also has works by international artists such as Pablo Picasso, Francisco Goya, Auguste Rodin, Joan Miró and Diego Rivera. As one of Bogotá’s most respected museums, the MAMBO holds an impressive record with over 800 exhibitions since it first took shape as a collection in 1955.
