Museum of Latin American Art in Buenos Aires.

I love this museum! There are so many fascinating works of art. There were multimedia pieces, abstract paintings, photographs, moving industrial art, ceramics, and of course a few crazy off-the-wall things. Unlike the Fire Arts Museum this Museum had several jaw dropping pieces. The star of the show was definitely Antonio Berni's Manifestacion from 1934. There were also works from Diego Revira, Alejando Solar, among others. Everything seemed to catch your visual attention. The only bad thing about the whole experience was that I could not take pictures (I managed to find some pictures on line).

Aside from the art itself the building was a marvel of modern architecture. Every wall and floor was white stone and the individual rooms had wood floors. In the main entry you had a perfect view though glass windows. The internal frame of the wall was visible and you could see the steel cables - a theme carried though out the entire building. From the outside you can see steel, a water feature, and stone. There is also a light feature that moves according to the amount of noise on the street. I don't know if this is some kind of political statement or not. What a perfect building to house a modern art museum. All and all I really enjoyed myself and I would gladly go back to this museum again
