Museo de Esculturas Luis Perlotti, Art museum in Caballito district, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Museo de Esculturas Luis Perlotti is an art museum in the Caballito district housing a collection of over 1600 pieces in wood, marble, bronze, ceramics, and reconstituted stone. The works occupy multiple floors, presenting a range of sculptural techniques and approaches across different materials.
Sculptor Luis Perlotti purchased the property in 1948 and converted it into a working studio and exhibition space. The building became a museum after his donation to the City of Buenos Aires and received a major renovation in the 2000s.
The museum displays works by Argentine sculptors from different periods alongside the founder's creations, showing how local artists shaped their medium over time. This collection reflects the regional art scene and the connections between generations of makers working in the city.
The museum occupies multiple floors, so allow adequate time to explore all the spaces at your own pace. The galleries are well organized and easy to navigate without feeling rushed.
The museum's restoration and conservation space is the separate Ferraro-Battisti annex, a museum-workshop created after Lidia Battisti and Juan Carlos Ferraro donated nearly all of their work to the City of Buenos Aires. It is not inside the Pujol Street building, so visitors to the main museum do not watch restoration there.
