Museum of Modern Art of Cartagena
Museo de Arte Moderno de Cartagena
A small but refined art museum beside San Pedro Claver Square, with works by local painters including Obregón.
Housed in a former customs building on San Pedro Claver Square, this small but well-curated museum holds 20th-century Colombian art. It focuses especially on works by Cartagena-born artists Alejandro Obregón and Enrique Grau, and it hosts temporary contemporary art exhibitions. Admission is about 10,000 pesos, and a visit takes about 40 minutes. It pairs well with the Naval Museum and San Pedro Claver Church.
