Yes, the air is good, BTW!
A lot of the cultural venues in BA take Mondays off, so had to wait until Tuesday to do to the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires.
This first batch starts with some short stops along the way, then the majestic entrance, followed by some items up on the second floor (that I was not so enamored with – what do you think?)…
The floor was a bit more interesting. The Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA) includes a couple of original Frieda Kahlo paintings, along with at least one Diego Rivera, and other good stuff…
This skull was my favorite work in MALBA, done by Mondongo, an art collective (two guys), and filled with compelling imagery. And there’s more…
Another long walk took me to the much smaller Museo Sivori. Voila, and the neighborhood…
More walking and some light comida…
The next day I went to one of bigger museums in BA – the Museo Nacional des Belles Artes. Get ready, there’s a bunch (this is the first of three batches)…
In fact, there were quite a number of big name artists, from Rembrandt and Picasso, to Monet and Modigliani. Can you find a few…?
And, this batch includes a whole series on the Conquest of Mexico – depressing, yet necessary to experience…
More classics of various genres here in the Museo Nacional des Belles Artes (can you find Goya?)…
Next, a very cool bookstore in an old theater, and the walk to Teatro Colon…
The historic Teatro Colon, and a brief glimpse of a ballet…
After a few days of AirBnb, switched to the Two Hotel, our Intrepid meeting point. Then, a walk about the neighborhood, including another big church. And, BTW, school group field trips seem happening everywhere…
Yup, there’s more – soon…
