The Museo de Arte Miguel Urrutia, also known as MAMU, is an art museum in Bogotá, Colombia, at Calle 11 #4-14. It is operated by the Banco de la República, the country's central bank, and presents rotating exhibitions of Colombian and international art.
What to expect
Because the displays change over time, each visit can offer something different. The museum's programme moves between Colombian and international work, so a return trip may reveal artists and themes you did not see before.
- Rotating exhibitions of Colombian and international art
- A museum housed in a beautifully restored colonial building
- Operated by the Banco de la República
The building
Much of the pleasure of a visit lies in the setting. The museum occupies a restored colonial building, and walking its rooms gives a sense of the architecture of old Bogotá alongside the art on display. The combination suits visitors who enjoy both looking at paintings and sculpture and spending time in historic interiors.
Planning your visit
The museum is in the centre of the Colombian capital, so it can be part of a day spent exploring the city's older neighbourhoods and cultural institutions. For current opening times, admission details and exhibition listings, you can call +57 1 343 1212 before you go, since these may change and are best confirmed directly.
