Overview

Go beyond the postcard landmarks with a private curator-led walk into Cartagena's living contemporary art scene, visiting galleries and, depending on the week, meeting working artists.

This tour is genuinely private, with your curator-guide confirming there will be no one else in the group but you, your party, or a couple. The route through galleries, artist studios, and small underground scenes changes week to week since it follows what's actually on show, giving a real, current view of Cartagena's art world rather than a fixed museum script.

About This Tour

Go beyond the postcard landmarks with a private curator-led walk into Cartagena's living contemporary art scene, visiting galleries and, depending on the week, meeting working artists. This tour is genuinely private, with your curator-guide confirming there will be no one else in the group but you, your party, or a couple. The route through galleries, artist studios, and small underground scenes changes week to week since it follows what's actually on show, giving a real, current view of Cartagena's art world rather than a fixed museum script.

Cartagena is best known for its colonial architecture, but it also has a working contemporary art scene, with galleries operating in restored colonial houses and artists using the city's colour and history as material. Fernando Botero's bronze 'Gertrudis' in Plaza Santo Domingo, installed in 2000, is the most famous public sculpture, but the living scene goes well beyond it.

Because the route follows what is on show, no two weeks are quite the same, and a curator can explain the artists behind each work rather than simply label it.

You do not need an art background; the guide treats questions as part of the tour.
