Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes

The National Museum of Fine Arts was inaugurated in December 1896 in the Bon Marché store building on Florida Street, today Galerías Pacífico. From its origin, it was conceived as a space destined to house international art from all historical periods, and to promote and consolidate an Argentine art that was then incipient. Around 1910, at the time of the Centennial of the May Revolution, the Museum already had in its collection pieces by the masters Francisco de Goya, Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida, Edgar Degas and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
