About Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA)
The Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires, mostly known for its acronym MALBA, is an art museum located in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The museum is operated by the not-for-profit Fundación MALBA – Costantini, and was inaugurated on September 2001. The institution was organized around the Costantini Collection, and has continued to expand its selection of works from modern artists across Latin America.
MALBA is a dynamic and interactive cultural arena where temporary exhibitions of a very diverse nature (for example, joint undertakings with other museums, international collections and similar foundations from around the world) and exhibitions of contemporary Argentinean and Latin American art are presented. In addition, it has a major film program and an archive that grows on a monthly basis through the acquisitions and the restoration of films essential to film history. The Museum also organizes a variety of literary activities, such as encounters with writers, courses, seminars, literary talks, book presentations and other events.
