La Tertulia Museum

La Tertulia Museum is an art museum in Cali that spans three buildings along the river, housing exhibition spaces, a cinema, and workshops for printmaking and restoration. The layout offers different specialized areas where visitors can explore various aspects of artistic creation and presentation.

The museum opened in 1956 in a building that had previously served as a school and cultural center. Over time it developed into a larger institution with multiple structures and expanded facilities.

The museum holds a collection of about 1,500 artworks spanning different artistic movements from the mid-20th century onward. Visitors encounter works by artists from North and South America, showing varied techniques and visual approaches.

The site is easy to navigate with clear pathways connecting the three buildings, and visitors should allow time to explore the different areas. The library opens in the afternoon and evening, offering additional resources for those wanting to learn more about the artworks.

The museum operates a Cinemateca, a dedicated cinema facility where regular film festivals like EuroCine take place. This makes it a gathering point for both visual art and film enthusiasts.
