Casa Museo Negret & MIAMP
Casa Museo Negret y Museo Iberoamericano de Arte Moderno de Popayán
The former home of Colombian modern sculptor Edgar Negret, with colorful metal sculptures and a strong collection of Latin American modern art.
Edgar Negret (1920–2012) was one of Colombia's most important abstract sculptors, famous for brightly colored works built from bolted metal. The house where he was born is now a museum. It displays works from every period of his career, his living spaces, and his collection of modern Ibero-American art, including pieces by Picasso and Joaquín Torres-García. Beyond the city's colonial churches, it offers a rare look at modern art. Admission is cheap and a visit takes about 45 minutes.
