Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes
The National Museum of Arts, also known as the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, is an art museum that was founded in 1896. This museum, located near to the Recoleta Cemetery, has a remarkable 100-year history and a beautiful collection of European and Argentine art. It's the most significant fine art museum in Buenos Aires, so even if you're not the artsy kind, go have a look.
The museum's structure was previously a pump house in the Recoleta neighborhood. Originally constructed in 1870, it was rebuilt by architect Alejandro Bustillo to accommodate the ever-expanding collection. The museum exhibits excellent art from all around the world, as well as a wide range of works by Argentine artists. The collection includes masterpieces by notable painters such as Monet, El Greco, Rembrandt, and Gaughin. Famous names such as Picasso and Van Gogh are also prevalent.
The museum's permanent exhibition features paintings, sculptures, and photographs. Visitors can also discover rotating temporary exhibits every three to six months. In addition to paintings, the National Museum of Arts houses a large library and a public auditorium. It also has a gift store that is open during the museum's operating hours.
