Feb 8 – Today is a good day to check out more museums.

The military museum was free, so in we went. There was no English signage, so I can’t tell you any history, but there were lots of cannons and guns. Here are some interesting pix.

There were a group of art museums in one complex, and we wandered back and forth, so I didn’t capture names. Here are some of the most striking images:

Then it was time for the best museum of all – Museo Botero! Fernando Botero is considered the most iconic Colombian artist – his paintings and sculptures are prized around the world. I remember seeing one of his huge sculptures in Oviedo, Spain.

His works are distinctive – he sees figures with “volume” (do not say ‘fat’), and although his subjects never smile, we couldn’t help but grin as we walked from room to room.

Art overload, I know, but what a fantastic day!
