National Museum of Visual Arts, Art museum in Parque Rodó, Montevideo, Uruguay
The National Museum of Visual Arts contains five exhibition halls across 2,500 square meters, displaying national and international artworks in a white modern building.
Founded in 1911 as the Museum of Fine Arts, the institution first exhibited its collection at the Solís Theatre before moving to its current location.
The museum holds the largest collection of Uruguayan art, featuring works by Juan Manuel Blanes, Pedro Figari, and Joaquín Torres García among other national artists.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM, offering free admission and an art library containing over 8,000 books.
The building underwent extensive reconstruction in the 1970s by Argentinian architect Clorindo Testa, adding a modern platform for temporary exhibitions in 1986.
