Botero Plaza, surrounded by the Museum of Antioquia and the Rafael Uribe Uribe Palace of Culture, is a 7,000 m2 outside park that displays 23 sculptures by Colombian artist Fernando Botero, who donated these and several other artworks for the museum's renovation in 2004.

Throughout his career, Fernando Botero has donated several artworks to museums in Bogotá and his hometown of Medellín.

Many of them were previously housed in museums of Paris, New York, and Madrid.

The "Botero legend" suggests that rubbing the statues brings love and good fortune.
