Gallery Experience

Botero: Garden of Grandeur

Presented in Partnership

Botero Foundation

Dates

24 January to 1 June 2026

Garden Grandeur brings Botero’s monumental bronze sculptures into the open air, transforming the Gardens into a lively stage where art and everyday life meet. These larger-than-life figures scale Botero’s signature volumes to civic proportions — turning familiar forms into bold landmarks that shape the rhythm of the landscape. Set against the sky and greenery, they anchor public spaces with presence and personality.

Visitors are encouraged to walk around them, look up at them, sit beside them, and take photos. In doing so, passers-by naturally become part of the experience, blurring the line between observer and participant.

Botero’s generous forms amplify gesture, movement, and emotion — mixing humour, charm, and quiet gravitas in a way that feels instantly accessible. Out here, his sculptures create communal moments of reflection and delight, offering a fresh way to encounter art in the everyday.

Botero: A Life in Fullness is the first immersive experience dedicated to Maestro Fernando Botero — and it’s far more than an animated biography.

Seen and told through the eyes of his eldest son, Fernando Botero Zea, the show follows Botero from his Colombian beginnings to global recognition. History, artistic influences, and personal recollections weave together to reveal how his distinctive style took shape over decades.
