Great Places to Enjoy Incredible Art in Buenos Aires
Even a tourist from Des Moines knows Buenos Aires is well-known for cafés, nightlife, and tango. The capital is also rich in history, and the art scene which flourishes in the city’s museums. But don’t look for ‘Fantastic Art Exhibits to See in 2017’. The Argentine government from 2001 until 2015 depleted the coffers of any pesos intended for the arts. The situation changed in December 2015 when Mauricio Macri was elected the new ‘El Presidente’. Here are four art museums, privately funded, that are on most everyone’s must-see list.
1. The Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires

On the Rio de Plata riverbank, the Coleccion has a waterside seat in barrio Puerto Madero. The CAALF showcases 20th century art of Argentina from the 1600s through to the present day.
