Museo Larreta, Spanish art museum in Belgrano, Argentina.
Description
The Museo Larreta is an art museum housed in a mansion with neo-Spanish colonial architecture that displays works spanning from medieval times through the early modern period. The rooms are furnished with original pieces that show how the artwork was integrated into a private living setting.
History
The building was originally the residence of Enrique Larreta, a writer and diplomat who served as ambassador to France in the early 1900s. The house was converted into a public museum during the 1960s after his lifetime.
Culture
The museum takes its name from collector and writer Enrique Larreta, whose passion for Spanish art shaped the character of the house. Visitors can sense this taste in the selection of displayed works and the furnishings throughout the rooms.
Practical
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday with free admission on select days throughout the week. It is best to check the specific opening hours before visiting, as schedules may vary with the seasons and special events.
