Museo Gurvich

Museo Gurvich is an art museum in Ciudad Vieja that displays approximately 266 works by the artist. The collection includes paintings, drawings, watercolors, murals, sculptures, and various objects that document Gurvich's artistic development.

The museum was founded in 2005 and documents the artistic career of a 20th-century artist who worked in Montevideo. A relocation in 2015 to Sarandí Street and conversion to a state institution in 2019 reflect the growing importance of this art collection.

Gurvich's works reflect his experiences as a Jewish immigrant and his connection to Montevideo's artistic movements. His creations capture personal perspectives and feelings that hold meaning in the local art scene.

The location opens on weekdays and Saturdays at different times, so check the current hours before visiting. The building is situated in the historic center and is accessible on foot from the rest of the area.

The building houses a large constructivist mural from 1963 that was restored and now remains on permanent display. This artwork shows Gurvich's artistic engagement with geometric forms and movement on a grand scale.
