Zany and imaginative  Quentin Tarantino just finished up a shoot-em up, blow-em up, kill-em up, movie about WWII in a very comic book, super hero style. The film comes to Medellin’s Colombo Americano theatre. Of course it already came to Medellin, but as a Tarantino cult classic, it is now back with intimacy. Intimacy? [...]

Well not really a new museum, as the Modern Art Museum of Medellin or MAMM has been around for 30 years. But they are moving locations to a bigger spot with more room for exhibits. So it is more like the Modern Art Museum 2.0
