World-Class Museum Exhibitions
MALBA – Latin American Art
The Museum of Latin American Art continues to be the city’s epicenter for cultural innovation.
Uruguayan artist Ulises Beisso presents Mi Mundo Privado (until November 10), an intimate exploration of personal imagination through color and narrative. The exhibition offers visitors a glimpse into Beisso’s distinctive visual language, one that merges introspection and playfulness with delicate precision.
From November 7, Pop Brasil – Vanguard and New Figuration, 1960s–70s highlights one of the most dynamic moments in Brazil’s art history. This show examines the experimental energy of artists who challenged social conventions and shaped the aesthetics of an era.
Also opening on November 7, Valerie Brathwaite’s A Flowing Own Path brings together drawings and sculptures that celebrate movement, transformation, and the poetic dialogue between materials.
Visitors should also take time to explore Third Eye, the ongoing presentation from the Costantini Collection, which offers a remarkable overview of modern and contemporary Latin American art.
From Palo Santo Hotel, MALBA is just a 15-minute cab ride away. Guests can also borrow one of our complimentary bicycles to enjoy a scenic ride along Figueroa Alcorta Avenue, with stops at the Japanese Garden or the Sculpture Park nearby.
Museo Moderno – Contemporary Argentine Vision
The Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires continues to offer an exceptional program dedicated to Argentine artists. This month, the spotlight is on Nacha Guevara: Aquí estoy, a major retrospective celebrating one of Argentina’s most iconic cultural figures. Actress, singer, and political activist, Guevara’s creative journey is traced through photographs, video installations, and rare archival materials that reveal her multifaceted artistic impact.
The museum, located in the historic San Telmo district, is a must-visit for travelers eager to explore Buenos Aires’ modern art scene in a neighborhood known for its bohemian charm and local cafés.
Grand Opera at Teatro Colón
No visit to Buenos Aires in November would be complete without an evening at Teatro Colón, one of the world’s most magnificent opera houses.
The month opens with Richard Strauss’s Salome (October 28 – November 4), a provocative and emotionally charged masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences more than a century after its premiere.
Later in the month, Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata (November 18 – 29) brings romance and tragedy to the Colón’s stage in a sumptuous new production featuring international soloists and the theater’s celebrated orchestra and chorus.
Whether you are an opera aficionado or a first-time visitor, a night at Teatro Colón promises an unforgettable cultural experience in an architectural jewel of Buenos Aires.
International Art at Fundación PROA
In the colorful neighborhood of La Boca, Fundación PROA presents two major exhibitions.
The first is a solo show by Kara Walker, the acclaimed American artist known for her powerful silhouettes addressing themes of race, gender, and historical memory. Her work, simultaneously beautiful and unsettling, challenges viewers to confront complex cultural narratives.
Running in parallel, Prix Pictet: Human showcases the latest edition of the prestigious international award for photography and sustainability. Through a global selection of photographers, this exhibition reflects on the human condition and our relationship with the planet.
Visitors can combine their museum visit with a walk along the nearby Caminito, one of Buenos Aires’ most iconic streets.
Argentine Masters at the Fine Arts Museum
The Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes presents two exhibitions celebrating Argentine painters who left a profound mark on the national art scene.
Carlos Gorriarena (1925–2007) – The Portrait of a Moment brings together expressive works that reveal his fascination with color, gesture, and social commentary.
Meanwhile, Fernando Maza (1936–2017) – The Construction of Painting explores abstraction as a meditative and structural act, revealing the artist’s lifelong pursuit of form and balance.
Located on Avenida del Libertador, the Fine Arts Museum is just a short ride from Palermo and pairs perfectly with a visit to nearby Recoleta and its historic cemetery.
The Palermo Polo Open – Argentina’s Sporting Elegance
From November 1 to December 6, the Palermo Open transforms the Campo Argentino de Polo into the world capital of polo. This prestigious event gathers the sport’s most talented players and teams, drawing an elegant crowd of locals and international visitors.
Beyond the matches themselves, the tournament embodies the sophistication and tradition of Argentine equestrian culture—an unmissable experience for anyone visiting Buenos Aires during spring.
