Fernando Botero

To our surprise, there the admission to the Botero Museum in Bogota was free!  That was the best deal in town for the great entertainment it provided.  Fernando Botero was born in Medellin in 1932 and is alive and painting still today.  The paintings in the museum were donated by the artist himself are valued at over 200 million dollars.  We also saw works of art by Picasso, Dali, Renior, Chagall, Monet, Degas and more.    A condition placed by Botero was that once a piece is hung in the museum, it cannot be moved or loaned to another museum.
