If you are in Buenos Aires this summer, read and go !

I have got two different favorite Musems in Buenos Aires, one ist Spanish Art Museum Enrique Larreta in Belgrano Neighbourhood and the other is this one, The “Fernandez Blanco”.
I have started my cultural activities there and it is always for me a fabolous new experience.

Next I will give you some details about the Museum. It has an spiritual atmosphere a superlative cultural agenda and very
Beautiful spanish Gardens. Arts, Nature and Peace in one place.

The Isaac Fernández Blanco Museum offers a thorough overview of South American Cultural environments, whose confluence contributed to the formation of the first Argentine identity.
The Museum is named alter Isaac Fernández Blanco, who created and donated the Basic Collection of the Museum Heritage. Since 1947 the Museum has had its SEAT at the Neocolonial Noel Palace , with was built by architect Martin Noel in 1922.
