MAMM Library
Learn about our services
The MAMM Library is a space open to the academic community, visitors, and local residents, where we support research and creative processes related to artistic practice and offer cultural programming centered around reading, art, and exhibitions from the Museum of Modern Art of Medellín. We aim to serve as a platform for the exchange of ideas, collaborative learning, and the dissemination of thought.

Some notable collections include the Arturo and Rebeca Rabinovich Salons (1981-2001), the Video Art Biennials (1986-1992), the Débora Arango Collection, and MAMM Exhibitions and Projects.
