    Museo Botero (Botero Museum) contains works by Colombian painter/sculptor Fernando Botero as well as works by other artists, including Monet and Picasso from Botero's private collection. Botero is known for depicting people and figures in large, exaggerated volume, which can represent political criticism or humour.
