Museum of Contemporary Art of Bogotá, Art museum in Engativá district, Bogotá, Colombia

The Museum of Contemporary Art of Bogotá occupies a building designed by architects Eduardo del Valle and Jairo López, inaugurated on 20 November 1970 by President Misael Pastrana. Its plan is a spiral winding around a large central void, with circular walls broken by openings to the galleries and a helical staircase linking three floors. A dome admits natural light into the interior.

The museum was founded in 1966 and later received architectural recognition for its design. This establishment made it an important center for contemporary art in the city and contributed to Bogota's cultural development.

The museum displays works by Colombian and international artists working across different materials such as paper, metal, wood, and textiles. These collections reflect how contemporary art forms are experienced and valued in the city today.

The museum stands in the Minuto de Dios neighbourhood of Engativá, northwest Bogotá, beside the Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios and on the plaza de banderas, sharing a single volume with the theatre. It is not in the city centre, so plan transport to the northwest rather than a walk from downtown. Inside, a helical staircase links the three floors around a central void, ending under a dome that lets in daylight.

The building was the first in Colombia designed exclusively as a museum, and it won the national architecture prize in 1971. Its plan is a spiral around a large central void, with circular walls broken by openings to the galleries and a helical staircase linking three floors. A dome at the top lets daylight into the interior.
