The Museum of Latin American Art (MALBA) is a treasure trove of creativity, housing the Fundación Costantini collection. With over 400 masterpieces from influential 20th-century Latin American artists, it's a must-see for art enthusiasts. The museum itself is a modern marvel, designed by the Atelman-Fourcade-Tapia studio in 1997. This architectural gem of limestone, steel, and glass emerged victorious in an international competition judged by renowned architects Norman Foster, César Pelli, and Mario Botta.

MALBA isn't just about admiring art from a distance. It's an interactive cultural hub that not only features an impressive permanent collection but also hosts a variety of major temporary exhibitions. Often collaborating with global museums, it brings in big names from the art world. Film buffs will be delighted by the museum's expanding film library and its engaging film series. Literature lovers can dive into talks, courses, seminars, and book presentations held in a dedicated area of the museum. Don't miss a chance to relax at the cafe, where you can sip on a latte while soaking in stunning park views.

And here's a tip for your visit: Keep an eye out for the innovative public programs and workshops that offer hands-on experiences. It's the perfect way to connect with the art on a deeper level.
