The main entrance to the Museo de Antioquia looks out onto Botero Plaza, just below the Parque Berrio metro stop in downtown Medellin. Crowds usually congregate on the steps leading down from the metro station. Botero Plaza is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. The Hotel Nutibara, Palacio de la Cultura and Iglesia Veracruz are other notable landmarks in the area.
The museum opens from 10 AM to 6 PM Monday through Saturday and 10 AM to 4:30 PM on Sunday. If you arrive a little early, you can peruse through items in the bookstore or take pictures of statues on the plaza. The admittance fee is 8.000 pesos. Be sure to keep your ticket stub in case you need to leave and return.
The first floor of the museum has an upscale restaurant with a veranda and a coffee shop next to one of the indoor courtyards. Visitors sip espresso while relaxing on benches across from the water fountains.
Don't miss the exquisite display of gold jewelry in the northwest corner of the first floor. The jewelry is completely encased in glass and protected by three guards. Writing on the walls of this exhibit describes the lives of the native Colombians who once owned these trinkets.
Other street level rooms have a number of large portraits, primarily of political figures from Colombia’s past. The museum staff will help you find your way around. There is also an information center across from the front entrance.
The first floor is made of marble?

The significant inscription found on an old key---“If I rest, I rust”---would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest bit of idleness. Posed By Juicy Couture Handbags

Needless to say, nothing at all but perseverance can lead a dude to your way of achievement. In other words, a persevering dude hardly ever does his get the job done lacking doing well in it. This really is certainly unchangeable reality.
