Museo Torres García
This modern art museum on the Sarandí pedestrian street displays works by Uruguayan constructivist master Joaquín Torres García and his idea of the 'Inverted America'.
Joaquín Torres García (1874-1949) was Uruguay's most influential modern artist. He blended constructivism with South American Indigenous symbols, founded the 'School of the South', and created the painting 'Inverted America', which shows South America upside down. The museum is located on the Sarandí pedestrian street in the Old City and displays his oil paintings, carved wooden toys and manuscripts, as well as temporary exhibitions. Admission is inexpensive. It is often closed on Sundays, so check the official website for hours. It is within walking distance of Plaza Independencia and Plaza Constitución.
