The area
Neighbourhood: Recoleta
Characterised by the French-style mansions which are the legacy of its aristocratic past, Recoleta is the true “Paris of the South.” Walking around this neighbourhood is an experience like no other in Buenos Aires: its streets are lined with elegant apartment buildings, exclusive boutiques, and former mansions turned into high-end hotels and embassies, which exude an alluring air of sophistication and class. You'll also find a rich cultural scene centred on the National Museum of Fine Arts, the National Library, and the Recoleta Cultural Center; as well as some great shopping spots, like the Buenos Aires Design Mall with an artists' fair set up in Plaza Francia every weekend.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We have been coming here for YEARS on our 2-3 month stays in Buenos Aires.
We arrived Nov.10th...and shall be here until jan 15th.
Our first week here we "popped in" to see the Gatti photographs. Not our "cup of tea" but interesting anyway.
Yesterday we "popped in" yet again and thoroughly enjoyed Zimmermann's photographs of ARGENTINOS. Perfecto!
I must admit we are "museum freaks" and adore the small museos in the city.
ENJOY.

This gem of a museum is located on Posadas, across from the little park in front of the Recoleta Cemetary. It was suggested to me by a friend who stays in BA for extended periods of time. I first went there on a rainy day, figuring a museum visit would be a great way to escape the downpour. Surprise! They are closed when it rains! No one could explain why; it just is. So I returned the following (sunny) day, and am so glad I did. The exhibit on display (through sometime in February) focuses on textiles, ceramics, and engravings. I love the way the art is displayed - many pieces are hung from the ceiling, in the middle of the room, or placed on the floor or on pedestals and there was no display that was behind glass (except the framed art). This allowed me to fully appreciate all sides of the creations by being able to walk around most of them. There is also a room displaying the art of younger students, which I also found delightful and interesting. I was pleasantly surprised that there was no admission fee. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Happened upon the Palais de Glace on a stormy BA morning and was amazed by the work during the exhibit up now (February 2014) Returned for a second visit and again found the work and the space compelling. If you are in Buenos Aires don't miss this show. Admission was free. The building, an old ice skating venue, is also a work of art.

Located adjacent to 'La Biela' cafe and 'La Recoleta'...I highly recommend spending some time at Palais de Glace. If you are a Tango gypsy, then it is a must see...as this building is a part of Tango history ( used to host one of the big milongas). If you are an art buff, or just interested in seeing something different, then I recommend it as well. Found many interesting displays of artistic expression that were quite different...and very captivating. There is no cost associated with entrance...which says quite a bit about Buenos Aires culture and appreciation for the arts. Not a must see, but at the same time...what is? :) But, I highly recommend it along with the attractions near by...great experience!!

Strolling through Plaza Francia and noted this building adjacent. Decided to satisfy our curiosity and ventured inside. Limited collection of art work and 3D images. The display of best pictures of 2016 were a highlight; unusual content and locations with many open to interpretation. Plenty of open spaces in the building. The building itself is an architectural delight, dating to another earlier era, but looks to be in genteel decay. We enjoyed our time viewing the exhibits although limited by the language barrier.

I was at the Palais de Glace by July 2016, during an exhibition about the best pics of the year and another one about ideograms. Although small, the museus is very interesting and easy to come around, being also close to other touristic attractions such as the Museum of Architecture and Design. Another good point is that its usually not crowded, so that it can be a very relaxing and easygoing experience. But I would definitely not recommend it to families with children.

I always come here to check the new exhibits which are mostly 3-D art! Don't miss the second floor gallery, too! It's free!

I went to watch 2 movies, two days in a row. They were hosting a Movie Festival for the Summer at the Museum, placed at Recoleta (calle Posadas). Very nice building, nice staff, interesting movies, very easy to get there. Very recommendable. The Museum has a permanent collection and then they also host diverse artists e g sculptures, painting, video-art. I ve been there several times, I recommend it.
