MALBA, the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires, opened in 2001, founded by Argentine businessman Eduardo Costantini and built around his own personal collection — more than 500 paintings, drawings, and sculptures by artists from across Latin America, including Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Tarsila do Amaral, and Wifredo Lam. Its angular, modern building in Palermo was designed by three young Argentine architects, and the museum has since become the city's defining showcase for 20th- and 21st-century Latin American art specifically — distinct in focus from Argentina's older, more internationally-minded fine arts institutions.
The Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, by contrast, is Argentina's oldest art museum, founded in 1895 and first opened to the public the following year in borrowed department-store space. It moved to its current home — a building originally constructed in 1870 as a drainage pumping station, later adapted for museum use by architect Alejandro Bustillo — in the 1930s and 40s, and today holds more than 13,000 works spanning European masters like Goya, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and Rodin alongside major Argentine artists including Xul Solar, Emilio Pettoruti, and Antonio Berni.
Depending on the day's route, a tour like this can also take in galleries beyond these two flagship museums — La Boca's Fundación Proa, for instance, a private art center founded in 1996 and rebuilt into its current Italianate-facade building in 2008, which focuses specifically on major 20th-century art movements through rotating exhibitions. Having an art historian as guide rather than a general city guide makes the biggest difference at exactly this kind of stop, where the real value is in connecting individual works to the broader currents of Argentine and Latin American art history, not just naming the artist.
