The MAMBA Finally Reopens!
Not to be confused with the ever-popular MALBA, the Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires, MAMBA, has finally reopened after an extended hiatus. Started as an initiative by art critic Rafael Squirru in 1956, the museum has been at its current location, a former tobacco factory in San Telmo, since 1986. It closed its doors for renovation though in 2005 as part of a reconstruction project funded by architect Emilio Ambasz. Five years and 58 million pesos later, the museum is back in full force, completely remodeled and restructured. Check out a couple pics after the jump!
While there are still more renovations and final touches in the works, there are two exhibits currently on display, not to mention an impressive permanent collection with works by the likes of Mondrian, Kandinsky, Le Parc, and Berni. The best part—all this can be experienced for the price of 1 peso. Check it out before inflation kicks in!
