MALBA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Latin American Art Museum of Buenos Aires (Spanish: Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires, MALBA) is a museum created by Argentine businessman Eduardo F. Constantini. It is a not-for-profit institution featuring the Constantini Collection, and also a dynamic cultural center, that constantly updates art and film exhibitions and develops cultural activities.
The mission of the MALBA is to collect, preserve, research and promote Latin American art from the onset of the 20th century to the present. This also involves educating the public to foster their knowledge in Latin American artists, in the diversity of cultural and artistic holdings in this region, sharing such responsibility both with the national and the international community. The building project was executed by AFT Architects, a renowned Argentine architectural firm.
