The admission fee is so minor that there's little reason not to check out Centro Cultural Recoleta…read moreif you're nearby (it's beside the Recoleta Cemetery) . The guidebook I had pretty much said the same, so I made time for this place and set my expectations accordingly.
Your feelings about this cultural center will likely vary depending on the exhibits currently running. There's a wide variety of art on display and it just keeps unfolding. I found my sweet spot in the building that sits across the courtyard from the building in which you enter. It was in that building, in a food-adjacent show, that I watched a video on hummus that amused me beyond reason.
I liked a lot of other things here too and appreciated that each new room I entered featured something totally unique from what preceded it.
Buenos Aires is a great museum town and I'm not suggesting that this should replace visits to any of those. But if it does, you might not even care.
I was super-glad to have made time to experience Centro Cultural Recoleta.
