About
The Casa Museo Pedro Nel Gómez is the former home and studio of Colombian artist Pedro Nel Gómez, set in Medellín in the Antioquia region. It is also known as the Pedro Nel Gómez House Museum, and it is a fitting place to understand the man and his work, since the rooms he lived and worked in are now the setting for the collection.
What you will see
The museum shows paintings, sculptures and a personal collection gathered from across the artist's career. Murals are part of the visit too, so you can follow the arc of his work from one room to the next rather than through a single period or medium.
What kind of visit it makes
- A slower, intimate museum visit, suited to people interested in Colombian art and in artists' domestic spaces
- A chance to see painting, sculpture and mural work in one place
- A quiet stop for those who want to look closely rather than move quickly through galleries
Because the museum occupies a house, the scale feels personal. It suits a visit of a few hours, and it pairs well with an afternoon spent exploring the wider city.
Getting there
The museum is at Carrera 51B #85-104 in Medellín. The telephone number is +57 4 233 2633, which is worth calling ahead on if you want to check arrangements for your visit before you set out.
