It houses one of the largest collections of Mexican <strong>art<\/strong> of the 20th century, made up of around 3,000 paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings and engravings in a constant process of cataloguing and integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, and from 2:00 p.m. &#8211; 7:00 p.m. On Saturdays you can visit it from 10:00 a.m. &#8211; 6:00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-attachment-id=\"24415\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/colombia\/things-to-do-in-bucaramanga\/attachment\/bucaramanga-colombia\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bucaramanga-colombia.jpg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,682\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"bucaramanga-colombia\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bucaramanga-colombia.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bucaramanga-colombia.jpg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bucaramanga-colombia.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Things to do in Bucaramanga\" class=\"wp-image-24415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bucaramanga-colombia.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bucaramanga-colombia.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bucaramanga-colombia.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sculpture in Bucaramanga, Colombia @Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Metropolitan-Cathedral-of-the-Sagrada-Familia\"><\/span>3.

The imposing structure, which includes a yellow and green dome, stands out on the busy 36th Street, covering a total space of 72.20 metres long and 32.50 metres wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1952, Pope Pius XII declared the Sagrada Fam\u00edlia to be the Cathedral of the Diocese, an important event for this monument. The temple went from being an ordinary parish church for the celebration of ecclesiastical activities to becoming the official seat of the Bishop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is among the most important and well-known religious buildings in Bucaramanga. Its gleaming white fa\u00e7ade and ornate interior make it a striking landmark, even more so when illuminated at night. The church is open from 6:00 until 18:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Kusamanes-Interactive-Park\"><\/span>4.

It has tracks for ATVs or buggies, a lake where you can zipline, paintballing, animals, as well as birds you can feed and learn about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park opens its doors to its customers on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am until 6 pm. There is a cafeteria and restaurant where they have a menu of the day, their specialties are typical Santanderean food and range from $3.10 to $9.80.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-Casa-del-Libro-Total\"><\/span>5.
