The Museo Nacional De Bellas Artes is probably the easiest museum in Buenos Aires to locate. It is a large pink building in Recoleta on Ave. Libertador. On the back of the museum there is a posh café called Modena Café. The Modena Café allows you to enjoy your lunch and shop for a Ferrari at the same time. The servers in this little restaurant can be a little stuck up, but if you are at the Fine Arts Museum I suggest you stop by the café for a quick photo or two.

One great feature this museum offers is an electronic audio guide in English. To celebrate the museum’s 110 year anniversary they added this feature. It is the first Latin American Museum to offer an audio-guide in both Spanish and English. The guide is an 80 minute tour which takes guest through all of the exhibition halls. The guide only covers the permanent exhibits, but pamphlets are available on all temporary exhibits. The tour is in chronological order and explains the artistic trends of the art on display. It also gives a detailed analyst on some of the more significant pieces on display. This 80 minute English or Spanish audio tour of the Museo Nacional De Bellas Artes is available at the front desk for 15 pesos or $5 USD.

The National Museum of Fine Arts is a two story building with several different halls for exhibits. The first floor displays works from Europe and temporary exhibits, while the second floor only displays art from Argentina. The first floor also contains a small gift shop where you can purchase books and postcards of the museum’s collections.
