Museo de Bellas Artes Benito Quinquela Martin

Avenida Pedro de Mendoza 1835 - Phone: 4301-1080

Timetable: Tuesday to Friday: 10am to 5:30pm. Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 5:30pm.

Quinquela Martin is the most important artist of the so called "Scool of La Boca", and through his work we appreciate the color and everyday life of the neighborhood and its first inhabitants. On the 3rd. floor we see his studio, where he lived until 1974. The museum also exhibits a collection of figureheads, almost all of them painted in La Boca.
