Stopped by here after a visit to the Recoleta cemetary. The space has a cool, creative vibe with…read morerotating exhibits and a mix of contemporary art and cultural events. It can get busy, but it's a fun place to wander and see something different. Worth a visit if you're exploring the Recoleta area.

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.

This is a great museum to visit. It is free and the place is quite interesting. It is 6 floors with…read moreeach floor having multiple exhibits. They rotate the exhibits so no two visits are the same. They allow different artists to display their work in each exhibit. You can spend an entire day in here and have tremendous fun.

This absolutely beautiful cultural center, in what used to be the Central Post Office, is as…read morebeautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. And, as usual, it's even better cause it's free. There are many art exhibits that change throughout the year, so there's almost always something new to see. The building itself is gorgeous, even if there wasn't any art installations it would be a worthwhile experience to drop by and check it out. The exhibits themselves are great too, and it can be a bit hard to navigate the six floors but just ask any attendants! The information desk at the ground floor does a great job to help visitors get their free tickets (you have to reserve them online beforehand, though) for the many musical performances the center offers. The many performances are absolutely amazing, I recommend signing up and going to as many as you can even if you're not familiar with the artist or the musical style, cause they're always fantastic. If you're not that interested in music, it's a great chance to enjoy the atmosphere and the architecture of the many rooms. The sala sinfónica in particular is gorgeous. I reiterate, it's free. I'm beyond amazed at this wonderful achievement, of making these cultural centers / museums free of charge, making the very clear statement that art and culture is for everyone. There are also classes that you can take there, dancing and exercise and who knows what else, all available to the public (though you probably have to sign up beforehand, so check their website). Like any museum it's closed on Mondays, unless it's a holiday, in which case it's closed on that following Tuesday. If you're in Buenos Aires, either visiting or living here, drop by. This place is gorgeous. At least just come and use the restrooms, I promise you'll stick around.
