Not only is Buenos Aires a great city, but it's also a great museum city. Not all great cities are…read more MALBA, the Latin American Art Museum of Buenos Aires, sets the bar high. Not only is the collection compelling, but the building housing it is a stunner. You might be compelled to photograph the space rather than the artworks. Begun in 2001 with one man's personal collection of 220 works by Latin American artists, the collection now has over 750 pieces and, though they don't identify the works as modern or contemporary, I'd identify the collection exactly that way. This is not a place to see the old masters and I like it all the more as a result. Regardless of how slowly you move through the collection, make time for the cafe. Basking in the light and the architecture of that space are guaranteed to enhance your overall experience. Come for the art and architecture, stay for the cafe and gift shop. MALBA is a world-class museum.

The guided tour was especially memorable thanks to an energetic and engaging young guide who brought the space to life with great storytelling. It felt intimate and unexpected, like discovering another city under the one you think you know. Definitely worth visiting if you want a more unique, off-the-beaten-path experience in Buenos Aires. Also thankful for AC on a hot day outside.

Excellent English, enthusiastic, passionate, and very informative. She showed us some really impressive street art/graffiti and offered information on the artists, how some of the pieces were commissioned, and interpretations for some of the references made in the art. Highly recommend taking this tour. Next time we will take the North City Tour!

My wife and I took a half day tour of some of the important sights including the Casa Rosado, Recoletta Cemetery and ending up at this museum. I am sure what originally peaked my interest was a Broadway Show about her but there was so much more to this amazing story of how she captivated a country and was both loved and despised at the same time. The part that wanted to focus on was the love. Even the building this museum is housed in was a foundation of her foundation to house and educate the poor until they could find alternative living. Giving women the right to vote and becoming a voice for those who needed one. Yes, this also becomes a massive game of politics and this woman totally captivated me even though I learned things about her that did not sit well with me. Translation for me was not an issue as we had our own guide. I did not understand why the clothing could not be photographed. There are plenty of pictures of it right here in Yelp and you would think that there are also thousands of photos while she was actually wearing this clothing. This well maintained museum was a great final stop on my personal "Evita Trail." She was clearly captivating, knew how to speak to a crowd (remember, she was an actress,) and will last in the history book for a long, long time. KUDOS to the team at Museo Evita and the private guides who travel with you.

I am a big fan of Evita and her story. As such, I didn't want to miss this museum…read more It was interesting, but a little disappointing. I think the problem, to be fair, was a lack of English translations for many of the signs. However, I was expecting more. The collection was mostly of her clothing, and a few news reels. In short, it's worth seeing if you are a huge fan--but I wouldn't necessarily go too far out of your way to see this.

The staff was friendly and the tour guide we had was absolutely amazing and super knowledgeable. The museum is very well done, though it focuses on a narrower period of Argentine history, after European colonization through the civil war and ending with the liberation of Bolívar and his contemporaries. There was a small section in the back focusing on Argentina's political history and celebrating 1984 when democracy finally ruled after a dark battle with dictators, military coups, and more.
