The museum

The Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, a public institution run by the Ministry of Culture of the Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, was founded in April 1956 on the initiative of Rafael Squirru, its first director. Right from the beginning, it has been an avant garde museum, a genuine house of artists and a space dedicated to promoting the latest work from all the different artistic disciplines. Today, 65 years after its foundation, the Moderno has all its galeries in operation after the last inauguration of the building in July 2018. MUSEUM'S HISTORY
