La Tertulia Museum of Modern Art
Museo La Tertulia
Cali’s leading modern art museum, with collections of Colombian and Latin American contemporary art, an art cinema and an open-air riverside amphitheater.
La Tertulia was founded in 1956 as a cultural salon for intellectuals and later developed into a modern art museum. Its collection covers Colombian and Latin American painting, prints and installations from the 20th century onward, and it holds regular temporary exhibitions. The museum’s film club screens art films, and the stepped open-air riverside amphitheater often hosts music performances. It sits beside the Gato del Río sculpture and can be included in the riverside walk. Closed on Mondays. Admission is relatively inexpensive.
