The art scene in Buenos Aires

MALBA (Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires), in Palermo, presents modern and contemporary Latin American art. The Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Recoleta holds a large collection of Argentine and European art, with free admission. The Museo de Arte Moderno in San Telmo completes the circuit with Argentine work from the twentieth century to today.

In La Boca, the colourful houses of Caminito recall the painter Benito Quinquela Martín, whose museum stands in the neighbourhood. On Sundays, the San Telmo fair around Plaza Dorrego brings together antique dealers, artisans and artists. Palermo and Villa Crespo have many galleries and a street art scene that covers façade after façade. Every year, the arteBA fair gathers Argentine galleries and draws collectors and curious visitors alike, making it a good moment to plan a trip.
