As a museum director I always find it fascinating how other museums do things. In the case of this museum, the collection is exceptionally fine. I was actually amazed at the breadth and depth of the collection. It was presented in a very standard, professional museum way typical for an art museum. We, however, were less than impressed by the... More

I came with low expectations and came away completely satisfied. I would recommend this museum to anyone. It holds some wonderful reproductions and original treasures. It is located near plaza francia and the recoleta cemetery so it makes for a wonderful grouping for a walk about type of tour. More

What a delightful exhibit. We were greeted warmly and directed to the commencement of this extensive body of work and it did not disappoint. The extent of this exhibit is vast and all works of a very high standard. The professionalism of presentation and the fact that it was all free added to the enjoyment of the museum. The Rodin...

MNBA is sometimes hard to get into (since it opens late and is closed on many public holidays) but once you're in, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the collection which includes Manet, El Greco, Goya and Rodin sculptures. The galleries are pleasant to stroll through and the collection is well laid-out. More

This is a good museum with some nice pieces of art, but I expected way more from a national museum of fine arts. Only visit if you love art or have time to spare because there are much better things to do in Buenos Aires. More
