    Wednesday for discount! The permanent collection is impressive. Any doubt you can also ask those friendly stuffs. Check the calendar of temporary exhibition since the second floor is maybe closed.

    Prepare for quit some waiting time when it’s raining. But it’s worth it: great overview of the evolution of modern art in South America.

    In my opinion, the best art gallery in Buenos Aires ... it’s not too large and perfectly curated.

    Worth a visit! My first time there and I loved it! Went w/my children and they really enjoyed Liliana Porter's exhibition. For the locals: 2x1 w/ClubLaNacion's Premium card ;-)

    Don't eat at the cafe. It is a tad pricey. If you do, be aware that you will be charged for the bread basket.
