Best Museums in Buenos Aires

La Recoleta, also known as Barrio Norte, is one of the most upscale neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, where wealthy families started to settle in the late 19th century in order to avoid the crowds from the popular center, and the diseases that came with them. Today, La Recoleta is still one of the most fashionable districts in the city, but also houses some of Buenos Aires’ best museums. If you are an art and history buff, take a tour of the barrio and visit its fascinating museums; you won’t be disappointed.

Major museums are located along the wide Avenida del Libertador, which also boasts lovely parks and squares. One of the most famous, and probably the most well-appointed museum, is Museo de Arte Latinoamericano (MALBA) which houses a permanent collection of art from all over the Latin American continent, as well as temporary exhibitions. If you only have time to visit one museum in town, this should be the one.

If you are looking for Argentinean authenticity, the Museo de Bellas Arte (Museum of Fine Arts) boasts a fairly good collection of European works, including some great post-Impressionist paintings and sculptures from Rodin. The most fascinating though is the diverse collection of Argentine 19th and 20th-century paintings, sculptures and wooden carvings.

More for its impressive architecture than its interior, the Biblioteca Nacional is also noteworthy. This huge cube standing in a well-kept garden featuring a bust of Eva Peron, holds a gigantic collection of about 1,8 million volumes and 10,000 manuscripts, few of which are accessible. It is still worth taking a look inside where exhibitions and recitals are frequently held.

For real insights into the Argentinean customs, traditions and soul, and very entertaining even to those who usually don’t care much for museums, the Museo de Motivos Populares Argentinos Jose Hernandez is really worth the visit. Name after one of Argentina’s most famous writers, author of the epic poem Martin Fierro, this museum houses a fantastic collection of folkloric art with numerous gauchos artifacts.

Later in 1814, a museum was established at 225 North Holliday Street by Rembrandt Peale the second son of Charles Willson Peale.

A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia $2.99 For more than 400 years, scholars from an array of disciplines have recognized Theodor de Bry’s 1590 edition of Thomas Hariot’s A briefe and true report of the new found land of Virginia as a book whose influence shaped contemporary European perceptions of North America, as well as subsequent research on that period for centuries to come.The book, upon which the present volume is based, is from the collections of the Library at the Mariners’ Museum. It is extremely rare, containing hand-colored illustrations from the period, and is one of only three recorded copies with colored plates. This complete facsimile edition presents de Bry’s exceptional engravings, based on John White’s sixteenth-century watercolors, in their original hand-colored form. The book is available in paperback and as a limited cloth edition of two hundred numbered copies. Both editions are printed by the award-winning Stinehour Press.As the first volume in de Bry’s celebrated Grand Voyages, a series of publications chronicling many of the earliest expeditions to the Americas, this book, which incorporates a 1588 text by Thomas Hariot, was illustrated and published in four languages. It became for many Europeans their first glimpse of the American continent. Accompanying the Latin facsimile is an English text. The first section is modernized from earlier versions of the English, and the second part, which accompanies the plates, is newly translated from the original Latin.In addition to a valuable introduction, the book includes two illuminating essays. The first, by Karen Ordahl Kupperman, examines the early American settlement and tells how a collaboration between the writer and mathematician Thomas Hariot and the artist John White (later governor of the Roanoke Colony) evolved into a rich study not only of English colonial life but of the Indian culture and the natural resources of the region.

Asia and Spanish America: Trans-Pacific Artistic and Cultural Exchange, 1500-1850 $39.95 The Denver Art Museum held a symposium in 2006 to examine a little-known aspect of globalization in the early modern era. Specialists in the arts and history of Asia and Latin America came from Europe, Asia, and the Americas to present recent research on connections between the two areas. Edited by Denver Art Museum curators Donna Pierce and Ronald Otsuka, this volume presents revised and expanded versions of the papers presented at the symposium.Gustavo Curiel opens the volume with a discussion of the reception and re-interpretation of Asian motifs in the various art forms of viceregal New Spain (Mex-ico). Essays by Etsuko Rodríguez and George Kuwayama present detailed analyses of Chinese porcelains excavated in Mexico and Peru that were imported via the Manila galleon trade. Roxanna Brown uses new evidence from shipwrecks in Southeast Asia to document the China-Manila branch of the trade network. Jorge Rivas looks at colonial furniture made in northern South America using Asian-inspired techniques and motifs. Sofía Sanabrais describes the adaptation of the Asian folding screen by Mexican artists. Meiko Nagashima addresses the exportation of Japanese lacquer traditions to Spanish America and Spain. Sonia Ocaña analyzes Japanese-inspired elements in shell-inlaid frames made in Mexico. Marjorie Trusted investigates the relationship to Asian models of Baroque ivory sculptures produced in the Americas; Abby Sue Fisher investigates the impact of Asian trade textiles on clothing in viceregal Mexico; and Clara Bargellini documents Asian trade goods at the missions of northern Mexico.An interdisciplinary study bringing together scholars from two fields of art and addressing a variety of artistic media, this beautifully illustrated volume will be an important resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Asian and Latin American art and history.

Bonevardi: Chasing Shadows, Constructing Art $60 Marcelo Bonevardi (1929-1994) was one of the most innovative artists of his generation. A native of Argentina, Bonevardi spent the greater part of his career in New York City, where he absorbed avant-garde practices and influences such as abstraction and primitivism, using them to invent a pictorial and symbolic language with which to express his deep spirituality and affinity for myth and ritual. Bonevardi is best known for his shaped canvases, which combine elements of painting and sculpture, reflecting his early training and lifelong interest in architecture. During his lifetime, Bonevardi received many honors, including the International Prize at the X Bienal de Saõ Paulo, first prize in the “Ten Argentine Artists at the United Nations” permanent installation, and the Platinum Prize from the Konex Foundation. Bonevardi’s work has been collected by many leading North American and Latin American museums, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum in New York City; the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes and the Museo de Arte Moderno in Buenos Aires; the Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Universidade in Saõ Paulo; and the Museo Rufino Tamayo in Mexico City.This lavishly illustrated volume presents the first comprehensive overview of the life and work of Marcelo Bonevardi. Noted art historian Dore Ashton provides a biographical and critical essay that traces Bonevardi’s artistic development and situates him in the New York art scene of the 1960s and 1970s. Ashton illuminates the diverse influences that helped shape Bonevardi’s art, as well as his contribution to important trends in North American and Latin American abstraction.
