The Top Argentine Art Galleries to See in Buenos Aires
Contributor
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. Hollywood in Cambodia
Hollywood in Cambodia represents many artists who continue to make Buenos Aires world-renowned for its street art. Located in the trendy neighborhood of Palermo, this gallery’s walls are covered in colorful artwork – and it’s very cool. In fact it’s so cool, you might feel slightly overwhelmed and need to head downstairs for a drink in the gallery’s Post Street Bar. Check out their website for details on the current exhibition, as these change monthly. Founded in 2006, Hollywood in Cambodia is a joint project run by several art collectives and founding artists: Stencil Land, Malatesta, GG & NN from bs.as.stncl, Fede Minuchin and Tester Mariano of Run Don’t Walk (RDW).
Hollywood in Cambodia, Thames 1885, First Floor, Buenos Aires.
Hours: Thursday-Sunday, 5PM-9PM.

3. Galería Mar Dulce
Galería Mar Dulce also features only Argentine artists, and artists working in Argentina in various mediums. The seven-year-old gallery is curated by Linda Neilson, an emigré from Scotland, and artist Raúl Veroni. Neilson described this gallery as “cozy” — full of comfy chairs, fresh flowers and books, which visitors can sit and leaf through. There are some permanent pieces on display, as well as contemporary works available to purchase. The gallery maintains two ongoing exhibitions: one individual and one collective, and often showcases the work of special guest artists. Galería Mar Dulce is located in an area of Buenos Aires that’s rife with galleries, between the neighborhoods of Palermo and Villa Crespo.
Galería Mar Dulce, Uriarte 1490, Buenos Aires, Argentina, +54 9 11 5319 3597.
