About this plan

Bogotá has become one of the most interesting cities in Latin America for enjoying art without hurting your wallet. The city has a wide and varied selection of free exhibitions. You can find shows by emerging artists in independent galleries as well as modern and contemporary art collections in public institutions. The best part is that many of these options stay open all year, so there is always something new to see.

The Colombian capital has a solid network of museums, libraries, cultural centers, and independent spaces that schedule temporary and permanent exhibits with free admission. It is also common for universities, embassies, and public spaces to organize shows of photography, illustration, crafts, and urban art. Going out to explore exhibitions in Bogotá can be a perfect plan for a weekend afternoon, a date, or some time on your own, and the best part is that the cost is always zero.

What to expect

  • Visit the National Museum on Sundays, when admission is free for everyone.
  • Walk through the galleries in the historic center and Chapinero, many with free entry.
  • Check out temporary shows at public libraries like Virgilio Barco or Julio Mario Santo Domingo.
  • Attend openings and special events where admission is usually free and you can meet the artists.
  • Explore university spaces like Universidad Nacional, which often has exhibits open to the public.
