Museo de Bellas Artes

Museo de Bellas Artes is an art museum in La Plata housing paintings and sculptures displayed across multiple exhibition halls. The collection features works by Argentine and international artists representing various styles and periods.

The museum opened in 1922 and grew rapidly through important acquisitions in 1926. These early years established it as a major art center in the region.

The museum displays works by Argentine artists alongside international names spanning different periods. Visitors can see how local artistic movements developed in conversation with global artistic trends.

The museum is located at Calle 7 Corner 50 in Pasaje Dardo Rocha and is open Tuesday through Sunday. Guided tours are available to provide deeper insight into the collections.

The building was designed by Italian architect Francesco Pinarolli in Italian style and shapes the character of the location. In the 1970s it served as the post office headquarters before being converted into a museum.
