We walked to MALBA from our hotel in Recoleta and bought an admission ticket same day. The museum is in a chic neighborhood of Buenos Aires with some beautiful homes, so we enjoyed the walk. The museum was great! We spent about 3 hours exploring its permanent collection and special exhibition. The museum’s design is lovely, and the museum is of a size that allows one to fully explore the collection without getting overwhelmed. The permanent collection featured many compelling paintings and sculptures from Latin American artists, and it gave me a new appreciation for how various contemporary art movements were expressed by artists from the region. The gallery was thoughtfully curated, and the English descriptions in the galleries were helpful for understanding the curation and context for the art. As is often true with art, exploring the art gave one a better sense of the region’s history and, in particular, of struggles faced by various populations. The special exhibition was also well-assembled and featured some quite humorous pop art. The gift shop had some really nice post cards. And the cafe, on the second floor, was a nice place to have a coffee and sweet treat as we transitioned from viewing the permanent collection to seeing the special exhibition. I’d definitely put this on your “must do” list for Buenos Aires if you enjoy art; we had a great visit, easily worth the price of admission.

Amazing experience. The best museum of Buenos Aires! A must see if you are in the city. The art collection is outstanding and well organized. Also the beautiful building helps you to get into the mood and the to art to shine with all its power!

Mostly modern art don the walls and floors of this beautiful art museum. When we were there, they had two Frida Kahlo's and that was a treat for us. Try the coffee shop on the SECOND floor instead of the busy one on ground floor, for incredible snacks and some of the best coffee we had in Argentina.

Excellent Art Museum at the heart of the Palermo neighborhood in Buenos Aires. Very interesting collection of Latin American Art. The museum sits in an easily accessible area of the city surrounded by many other touristic attractions. The architecture of the building housing the museum is beautiful and organic with the collection. It is easy to visit and enjoy. It has a good museum store. Admission is inexpensive and the museum will provide a very good value for what it offers.

This museum has two Frida Kahlo paintings. Modern art. Highly recommend. Very nice collection. Really enjoyed seeing the two Frida Kahlo paintings. Very reasonable price to get in. So glad we went.

We loved our visit to this museum. They have a great collection and it's varied. It was our first experience at a museum with a focus on Latin American art and they have so many beautiful items including the Frida Kahlo pieces. From what I've read they have changing exhibits and when we were here in February it was the Cecilia Vicuña exhibit. Very inexpensive admission. We were here about 90 minutes.

I like this place a lot. It is very cool and it made my family very happy when we visited. My son was being a bit of a pain though because he said it was boring but that is not what the museum is for. It is very good for an adult trip or something to slow down your trip. It is a great experience and it is something you should look into if you're interested in the arts of different places across the globe.

We stopped by to check it out as we heard it was owned by the richest man in Buenos Aires. We enjoyed the Frida collection which he got in NYC and paid a lot for. The rest of museum was mostly modern art. It's charged admission and you cannot carry around your backpack. It gets checked into a room. There is a cafe and gift shop. Took us about 45 min to get through.
