“Small, but nice”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 22, 2012

the art was a little too modern for me. The videos they were showing were very interesting. Definitely go on a Wednesday when there is discounted price! if you are a student, bring your id!

“not much to see”

Interesting but a small collection. I would not go if you have just few days for visiting Buenos Aires.

“Latin Modern Art”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 20, 2012

You don't find much modern art from Latin America in US museums, so the MALBA was a great experience. Well organized and a nice cafe as well if you get hungry.

“Nice way to spend an hour.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 19, 2012

If you want to see some Latin American art and you have a short attention span this is the Museum for you. Great little collection and the price of admission isn't too steep either. You can scoot around it really quickly. The cafe is very expensive so don't plan on eating there.

“A great little museum.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2012

Malba museum is filled with great Latin American art. There are different exhibits all the time.
Also has a cute store where you can get gifts.
And a cafe/restaurant with outdoor space. A definite to include on your Buenos Aires tour.
