Museo de Arte Moderno de Cartagena de Indias

Museo de Arte Moderno de Cartagena de Indias is an art museum in the Old Town housed within a renovated section of the former Royal Customs House. The building contains multiple exhibition spaces showing Colombian art collections from different periods.

The building was constructed in the 17th century as a royal customs facility and initially stored trade goods from the Spanish colonial era. The structure was later repurposed and now operates as a museum for contemporary artworks.

The museum displays works by local artists who represent different phases of Colombian art history. Visitors can see how artistic expression in the country evolved across decades.

The museum sits in the Old Town and is easily reached on foot with direct street access. A visit typically takes one to two hours depending on how much time you want to spend on each exhibition.

The building still retains original features from its days as a port facility, such as tall stone walls and wooden beams in the roof structures. These well-preserved details give a sense of what colonial-era trading centers looked like.
