Great Museum – A one of a kind gem
Visiting the Caliwood museum was one of the great highlights of our trip to Medellin. The staff clearly have such a love for cinema. The museum focuses on the apparatus of film making and film projecting. I have never seen another museum like it in the world. It covers the history of film from magic lanterns, through projectors illuminated via carbon arcs, through modern projectors. We watched some short films that were over 80 years old. Check out one of the few wire recording machines in the world. Every guest gets a little bit of film as a souvenir. But what really made this museum stand out was the owner, Hugo. He is a fascinating guy. He took his love for cinema and built a museum around this love. He speaks great English and gave us a personal tour of his museum. He took a personal interest in our family and even helped us to book hotels along our onward journey. Even more fascinating is to ask him about classic cars in Colombia. I would love to see Hugo build a classic car museum in Colombia.

The must-do in Cali
The museum is a unique place where you can see at the same site the history of cinematography and photography, with impressive models and short movies from all around the world. It feels like a time capsule that takes you to a different era every 10 min. The staff is super nice and the place is in a good neighborhood close to the center. So, all in all, you can't leave Cali without visiting Caliwood!
