Museum of Modern Art by elsadran
On the southern side of San Sebastian square is the Museum of Modern Art with an excellent collection of temporary and permanent painting and sculpture exhibitions of contemporary artists. The sculptures occupy even the internal courtyards adorned with trees and flowers. A very pleasant place to wander. At the time of my visit there was an exhibition of Fernardo Botero paintings which are really enjoyable to observe. His extraordinary fattish figures are very cute in their perfect colours and shapes. I loved it.The building was constructed in 1876 and is called The House of Temperance. ( Casa de la Temperancia) because it was originally built to house people who had drinking problems. Between the years 1976 and 1981 the Central Bank restored the building, and finally in 1982 the Museum of Modern Art was inaugurated here.
