Centro Cultural Recoleta

I liked this place!! We went on a weekend so it was really busy, there was a small line but we went in quickly (you just show the worker your DNI) we didn’t pay anything As we entered there was a big hallway with many entrances, as we went in the second door we saw many paintings and many different things that represented different cultures. These paintings and drawing inspired me alot. They also have a cafe and the thing that attracted me the most is a “sala de trabajo” or a big room full of people studying. Me and my mom really liked it, its a nice place to spend a weekend at !!

I went with a small group on a weekday morning. There weren't many people. It is a nice space to meet friends or visit exhibits. The court yards are beautiful. Recommended.

The place is very nice We went there in werkend It was free Very cozy, we went to the cinema but it was very small and only 2 desks with small screen.. The paintings are influential

A fantastic place for art, aggregation and relaxation. Part art gallery, with changing exhibitions, part co-working space, part garden where to chill with a book or with friends, everything is completely free of charge and so this cultural center really works as a place of aggregation, especially for young people. The brightly coloured facade gets repainted in a new theme every few months and it is always stunning. A great resource for the city and an absolute must-see as a tourist.

What a surprisingly lovely spot! The city has repurposed the old Recoleta monastery as not only a cultural centre, but an air conditioned refuge from the summer heat. As you travel down the long central hallway room after room opens up on either side filled with students creating art, people working at their computers, children laughing and running in playrooms, or just friends young and old gathering to chat. There's also a large gallery and a bookstore. A delightful building I wish every city had!

Why doesn’t my home have a place like this?! 🤩 Young people, studying, relaxing, socializing, dancing, and more made this place feel like the heart of the city. Not only are the facilities, beautiful and a work of living cultural art, but they also informed us of a special concert happening later that night. We returned to a sea of youngsters dancing in the courtyard to a DJ. All free! Definitely stop in if you are nearby.

The place is great for spending some time and doing activities. I went to work to the coworking there and was not the best experience because of the noise and the amount of people, bit it was ok.

Amazing cultural center, where you can find space for relax surrounded by art, craft work or see some time exhibitions. There is also coffee shop and charming patio. Free entrance.

Beautiful cultural center that features a variety of artists. The building, completed in 1732, is one of the oldest in the city. Admission is free. Near the Recoleta Cemetery.

Art is life! This is such a cool cultural center for Recoleta. This place is located right next to the infamous Buenos Aires cemetery, where there are so many (morbid) works of art. But next door to Recoleta's church, there's a fantastic cultural center. Look for the giant painting of a bird man on the front of the place. When I went, it was free! They had a wide variety of works of art, in various media- from sculptures, to paintings, to mixed media works. My favorite was a Michelin Tire Man that someone had made out of tires! There were rock n' roll bands putting on shows, there was a class on twerking (awesome!) and they were even giving out free works of art! There's plenty of air conditioning, and places to hang out and just be creative, cool sculptures to contemplate, and lots of works of art to take in. This seems like a place that really nurtures the creative spirit of Recoleta! Parking looks like it might be a challenge, since it's located next to the country's most famous cemetery and a big ol' park. Bonus- the park is transformed into an artists' market on the weekends! I highly recommend checking this place out! I loved it!

There is so much to do in this place, I love it. There are art galleries to see. There are various rooms with different themes: musical, artistic, political, etc. They have nap areas, an area to dance, to listen to music, to play games, they have many areas to read, work, or study. They have a bar. If I lived closer to this venue, I would be a regular. And it is FREE (of course, the food is not). ---------------------------------------------------- Hay mucho que hacer en este lugar, me encanta. Hay galerías de arte para ver. Hay varias salas con diferentes temas: musicales, artísticos, políticos, etc. Tienen áreas de siesta, un área para bailar, escuchar música, jugar juegos, tienen muchas áreas para leer, trabajar o estudiar. Tienen un bar. Si viviera más cerca de este lugar, sería un habitual. Y es GRATIS (por supuesto, la comida no lo es).

I sincerely love this place. The art exhibits are generally wonderful, the place is pristine, and the staff are helpful and polite. There's tons of literature on the ongoing art shows, upcoming recitals, etc available for visitors. The center is huge and there are recitals/concerts several times a week, all of them top notch and, best of all, completely free of charge. It's a truly enjoyable experience, but beware: the recital might be more popular than you would've thought and you could end up having to stand to the side for the duration of the show. Still, it's worth it. There's a gift shop, a small café and plenty of amenities in site. It's definitely one of my favorite places in Buenos Aires and it's so well located there are plenty of options for either before or after your visit.

I always wish BA had an 'art neighborhood' (like Chelsea in NYC), where all the galleries were stuck together, cheek to jowl. Then, we tourists could zip from one to another, without a lot of research (and collectivos). This place is the closest approximation to that (if I'm missing something, feel free to ping me and correct my lack of knowledge)... you can see a bunch of young, or emerging artists in one place. A variety of things. And apparently performances and lectures... I'll let you know how those are; I'm going this weekend. Free.
