Museo en Tigre, Buenos Aires, Argentina

The Museo de Arte Tigre occupies a French-Italian style palace on the banks of the Luján River, housing an extensive collection of Argentine paintings and sculptures. The building itself is a 19th century structure overlooking the waterway, designed for elegance and formal gatherings.

The palace was built in 1892 as a gathering place for wealthy citizens and functioned as a private club for many years. In 1979, the building was declared a National Historical Monument and later converted into a museum.

The collection displays works by Argentine artists who captured everyday life and the landscape of their time. Visitors can observe how local subjects and scenes from different periods were interpreted through art.

The museum sits on the riverbank with clear views from the water and is easy to reach on foot. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, making it straightforward to move through the collection at your own pace.

The museum holds European artworks depicting the Río de la Plata estuary and Delta, created by artists from outside Argentina. These pieces reveal how the region was seen and portrayed by foreigners fascinated by its geography and landscape.
