Since its very beginning, the Medellin’s Modern Art Museum has worked towards being more than just a museum. It is a space that provides pleasant encounters and surprises, where all sorts of artistic and cultural manifestations have the capacity to summon a very diverse public.
Today, thanks to a loan from the Mayor’s office and after a long-haul of three decades, the Museum that has witnessed the transformation of the city now expands. It has a new headquarter in the south side of Medellin: an ancient building traditionally of industrial calling, now assigned to fulfill unique museumgraphics and logistic conditions, which will inscribe the museum on the international circuits of art.
The MAMM offers the versatile, flexible and adaptable conditions that artists and creators demand today; in order to fulfill all the ever-growing requirements and expectations of the public; and answer to the continuous change of this new reality that demands the capability of projecting itself permanently into the future.
Opening hours: Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 am – 5.30pm, Saturdays from 10am-5.30pm and Sundays from 10am-3.30pm. Mondays are closed due to maintenance. Address: 44th street No. 19A-100, Ciudad del Rio, Medellin-Colombia Telephone: (574) 4442622 Email:
