"MALBA houses an impressive collection of modern and contemporary Latin American art, including works by Frida Kahlo." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Like any great city, Buenos Aires has its Museum Mile. For art, standouts include the National Fine Arts Museum (MNBA), with its mix of Argentine and European pieces, as well as the Buenos Aires Latin American Art Museum (MALBA), highlighting the works of Latin American artists. Walk the boulevard between the MNBA and MALBA to see some of the city’s most luxurious real estate. From the MNBA, cross Figueroa Alcorta and swing by the University of Buenos Aires Law School and Floralis Genérica , a 65-foot, stainless-steel kinetic sculpture representing a massive flower. Follow Figueroa Alcorta to Castilla, then turn left into Grand Bourg Park, a stately, if petite, plaza surrounded by imposing palaces, or take a right into Palermo Chico with its circular streets, grand mansions, and palaces.

"Filled with avant-garde 19th- and 20th-century works, the MALBA showcases pieces by Frida, Diego Rivera, Antonio Berni, Wilfredo Lam, among others. It's recommended to check out one of the temporary exhibits, which sometimes deviate from the Latin theme." - Celeste Moure
"If you have to pick one museum to see in Buenos Aires, MALBA should be your pick. The modern building, surrounded by the Palermo parks and ambassadors' mansions, is known for its permanent collection of famed contemporary Latin American artists, with works by Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Fernando Botero, Antonio Berni and Tarsila do Amaral in its arsenal. Its dynamic team of curators has also put together some of the most interesting temporary exhibits in the city too; one season, they may highlight Argentine or Latin American art, and another, International, modern, or Contemporary. Ninina Bakery, a top coffee and pastry café, recently took over the restaurant space to bring quality eats to the museum—so don't miss a refueling pitstop there." - Allie Lazar
