Art Expositions at the Mall
At Palacio Nacional Mall, the experience isn’t limited to shopping for sneakers and trendy clothing; it’s also an opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of art. The Mall recently opened a new art space that showcases the works of talented artists both from Colombia and beyond.

The top three floors have been completely transformed and turned into an art gallery . Today, these floors host 45 art galleries and 20 exhibition halls, featuring over 1,500 pieces of art, including sculptures, paintings, and drawings. The exhibition was organized by the painter and sculptor José Cirilo Henao, with the decision to convert the warehouses upstairs into art spaces made by the Sociedad Hacienda El Portal, who manage Palacio Nacional.

Every two months, the pieces in the four main exhibition halls will be rotated for collective exhibitions, making sure that you will always have something new to explore. In essence, Palacio Nacional Mall has transformed into not only a shopping destination but also an art gallery, offering a cultural experience in el centro.
