Palais de Glace, National art museum in Recoleta, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Palais de Glace exhibits over 1000 artworks in a Belle Époque building with a central circular hall and theater-style boxes around its perimeter.
The building opened in 1911 as an ice skating rink before transforming into a dance hall and later becoming the National Office of Fine Arts in 1931.
The museum hosts the Salon Nacional de Artes Visuales, a major Argentine art competition featuring painting, sculpture, design, photography, and new media categories.
Visitors can access the museum from Tuesday to Friday between 12:00 and 20:00, and on weekends from 10:00 to 20:00, with free admission for all.
The building features three large murals added in 1934 during architect Alejandro Bustillo's renovation, which maintained the original circular design.
