In charming modern Puerto Madero district of Buenos Aires You can find one of the best art museums in the country - Coleccion de Arte Amalia Lacroze de Fortabat (Amalia Lacroze de Fortabat Art Collection).
Fortabat Art Collection shows off the collection of billionairess, philanthropist and socialite Amalia Lacroze de Fortabat, Argentina’s wealthiest woman. There are galleries devoted to famous Argentine painters Antonio Berni and Raúl Soldi and works by international stars like Dalí, Klimt, Rodin and Chagall.
The modern Museum' steel-glass-concrete building, designed by renowned Uruguayan architect Rafael Viñoly, was finished in 2008. It encompasses over 6000 m², with several airy floors showcasing works by famous Argentine and international artists. The most interesting thing about the museum itself, however, might be the movable aluminum panels above the glassy ceiling. They tilt open and close, keeping sun off the delicate artworks. Lacroze requested this feature so that she could see her collection and the stars at the same time.
