The Top Argentine Art Galleries To See In Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is known for its rich cultural life. Art is everywhere, and galleries have flooded many parts of the city — here are six you won’t want to miss.

1. Mite

Art Gallery

Mite is a small contemporary art gallery housed in Galería Patio del Liceo; an artistic venue which offers everything from art to vintage clothing and fancy coffee. Everything at Galería Patio del Liceo is insanely hipster, but Mite has a savvy eye for talent-spotting, so it’s always worth a visit. Galería Patio del Liceo can be found inside a late 19th century building that’s eye-catching enough in itself. The historic building was once the first girl’s school in the region, until its recent metamorphosis in homage to all things art. Several other galleries have also made a home in Galería Patio del Liceo, so it certainly makes for a nice little cultural outing.
Hours: Tuesday-Friday, 2PM-8PM.

Galería Ruby

This art gallery began virtually as an online art magazine entitled Ruby, before transforming into a brick-and-mortar space in the chic neighborhood of Chacarita. The gallery focuses on contemporary art and presents several exhibitions each year. Galería Ruby also serves as a workspace for artists.

Galería Ruby, Av. Forest 379, Buenos Aires.

Hours: Tuesday-Friday, 3:30PM-7:30PM.
