La Tertulia Museum, formerly known as the Museum of Modern Art La Tertulia, is an art museum in Cali, Colombia. It has an important collection of American and especially Colombian art. The museum consists of three buildings: a main gallery with 300 works by national and international artists and an art workshop for children; an arthouse theater known as the Cinemateca; and a building for printing and restoration workshops. The Cinemateca frequently hosts passing film festivals, such as EuroCine. A tertulia in Spanish refers to a social gathering, especially to talk about art or literature. The name of the museum comes from the history of its creation. During the dictatorship of General Gustavo Rojas Pinilla, the cultural activity in Cali fell markedly. The Municipal Theater of Cali was reduced to a movie theater, and the Institute of Fine Arts was used as a means of propaganda by the State. Due to this shortage of spaces, houses began to be improvised as cultural centers. Clara Inés Suárez, together with her husband, an ambassador in several countries, convinced several artists to visit the city. Clara Inés, together with Maritza Uribe from Urdinola, who managed another cultural center in her home, managed to establish a cultural group in the city. More information...
