Mudeums and culture in Bogota
21.03.11.
Now obviously, I couldn-t just live my life in this city without visiting its museums....
One of the main ones to visit is probably the Gold museum. It looks quite small at first for a country of the size of Colombia, but then you wonder really how much one can possess in terms of Gold...
The national hero artist here is BOTERO. People don-t always know his name, but then everyone recognises his work > "he-s the one who paints th efat guys". YEs> BOTERO is a good hearted man who helps all the women of the world to feel better about their size and weight. My opinion is that you don-t even need to know anuything about art for this place to be interesting. One of his fameous pictures is a huge illustration of a rooftop, on which is standing a little bird. Well even that bird, however small it may seem in proportions with the rest of the canvas, the bird IS GENUINLY FAT!
