Today, I checked out the large museum complex, the Colecion de Arte del Banco de la Republica, which is truly a series of 5 museums, all free of charge, and all nearly empty in the course of the weekdays. The highlight is the Museo Botero, a assortment of 123 pieces by the artist himself, Colombias most famous artist, Fernando Botero.
