Fundación Proa
This contemporary art center in the La Boca area is currently closed for a major expansion project but it will reopen in 2008. When it reopens mid-year, there are plans to host the first major retrospective of the work of Marcel Duchamp.
Malba
This wonderful art museum celebrates the diversity of Latin American art and is largely the labor of one man’s passion for art. Eduardo F. Costantini spearheaded the creation of this institution, which is dedicated to showcasing the best of Latin American art. He donated many of the pieces of art from his own collection along with funds to support education and exhibition programs. Among the works in the permanent collection are paintings by Fernando Botero, Frida Kalho, Diego Rivera and Wifredo Lam. Three young Argentine architects were selected to design the builiding that houses the museum, and it has become a beloved gathering place for the city’s students and art lovers.
Museo Nacional de Belles Artes
This national museum of fine art houses Argentina’s largest collection of 19th- and 20th-century Argentine art by some of the past century’s biggest names (Xul Solar, Eduardo Sivori, et al.) and, on the first floor, works by Rodin, Rousseau, Goya and El Greco. Open Tuesday-Friday 12:30 P.M.–7:30 P.M., Saturday and Sunday 9:30 A.M.–7:30 P.M.; closed Monday.
