La Tertulia Museum of Modern Art was Founded in 1956 by Maritza Uribe de Urdinola and reopened in the current building in 1962. It shows more than 300 works by national and international artists.
It was born from the initiative of a group of lawyers and artists who met periodically to hold gatherings and entertaining conversations about art and cultural affairs of the city, hence its name.
