Museo Castagnino
Museo Municipal de Bellas Artes Juan B. Castagnino
One of Argentina’s important art museums, with European old masters and modern Argentine painting. The building itself is an Art Deco landmark.
The museum opened in 1937 at the entrance to Parque Independencia. Its collection of about 4,000 works includes pieces by European masters such as Goya and Titian, as well as works by important 19th- and 20th-century Argentine painters such as Berutti and Benni. The building combines Rationalist and Art Deco styles. It shares an institution with the contemporary art museum MACRO by the river. Admission is inexpensive or free, and a visit takes about 1 to 1.5 hours.
