Centro del Conocimiento, Cultural center on Avenida Ulises López, Posadas, Argentina

The Centro del Conocimiento is a cultural complex on Avenida Ulises López (Acceso Oeste) in Posadas, Misiones. Its main building has two glazed rectangular wings, east and west, each with six levels and two basements, on a 25-hectare site with 22,000 m² covered. A dry plaza leads to the entrance; beside it is a 35 m by 8 m reflecting pool, 45 cm deep, with 48 lights and jets, and a 131-car parking garage beneath.

The center opened in 2007 as part of an initiative by the province of Misiones to give residents free access to arts, knowledge, and education. It was one of the first projects of this scale in the region and changed what cultural life in Posadas could look like.

The center is a place where people from the region come to watch theater, attend concerts, or see exhibitions without paying. School groups, families, and local artists all use the space regularly, giving it an everyday, open character.

Access to most areas of the center, including exhibitions and the library, is free, though some performances may require a ticket. It is worth checking what is on before you visit, since the program changes regularly and some events fill up quickly.

The water feature beside the main building is a 35-metre-long, 8-metre-wide pool just 45 cm deep, where 48 lights and nozzles shoot water in changing choreographies. The parking garage for 131 cars lies directly beneath the dry plaza in front of it.
