Right in the middle of the city, the Plaza Botero is a great example of the outdoors art available in Medellín: 23 statues of the famous painter-sculptor-son of the city are freely accessible to anyone.
Since the square is on a very central location in downtown Medellín, lots of people pass through it every day, and even on this Sunday afternoon, it was full of Colombians taking a stroll. More than that: most were drawn to the statues and sculptures in one way or another. While some would just look at the statues as if they were exposed in a museum, others sat on the edge to have a rest. The statues are attractive and invite people to interact with them. Kids find the statues great to climb, and do not seem to mind having a rest between the spread legs of a colossal woman. Some adults are more aware of the sensuality at least some of the statues have. It is easy to see by examining the statues which parts have been touched most.
