Bogotá: Museo Botero

I have talked many time about finding little gems – unexpected enjoyment when traveling. Found during our museum hopping several days ago, the museum in Bogotá honoring Fernando Botero is one of those gems. I hope you enjoy these photos of his work as much as I enjoyed seeing them for real. There is now way, of course, you have to see art first hand to really enjoy.

and my favorite – no way would you think to see in a small hidden museum…

  5. Enjoy art museums. Some members of my family say "No, no, not again!". But go anytime I can. Even the MOMA's (modern art is not my favorite).

    Did not know Dali did that one. He I do like a lot.
