But next door to Recoleta's church, there's a fantastic cultural center. Look for the giant painting of a bird man on the front of the place. When I went, it was free! They had a wide variety of works of art, in various media- from sculptures, to paintings, to mixed media works. My favorite was a Michelin Tire Man that someone had made out of tires! There were rock n' roll bands putting on shows, there was a class on twerking (awesome!) and they were even giving out free works of art! There's plenty of air conditioning, and places to hang out and just be creative, cool sculptures to contemplate, and lots of works of art to take in. This seems like a place that really nurtures the creative spirit of Recoleta! Parking looks like it might be a challenge, since it's located next to the country's most famous cemetery and a big ol' park. Bonus- the park is transformed into an artists' market on the weekends! I highly recommend checking this place out! I loved it!

The admission fee is so minor that there's little reason not to check out Centro Cultural Recoleta…read moreif you're nearby (it's beside the Recoleta Cemetery) . The guidebook I had pretty much said the same, so I made time for this place and set my expectations accordingly. Your feelings about this cultural center will likely vary depending on the exhibits currently running. There's a wide variety of art on display and it just keeps unfolding. I found my sweet spot in the building that sits across the courtyard from the building in which you enter. It was in that building, in a food-adjacent show, that I watched a video on hummus that amused me beyond reason. I liked a lot of other things here too and appreciated that each new room I entered featured something totally unique from what preceded it. Buenos Aires is a great museum town and I'm not suggesting that this should replace visits to any of those. But if it does, you might not even care. I was super-glad to have made time to experience Centro Cultural Recoleta.

This is a great museum to visit. It is free and the place is quite interesting. It is 6 floors with…read moreeach floor having multiple exhibits. They rotate the exhibits so no two visits are the same. They allow different artists to display their work in each exhibit. You can spend an entire day in here and have tremendous fun.

This absolutely beautiful cultural center, in what used to be the Central Post Office, is as…read morebeautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. And, as usual, it's even better cause it's free. There are many art exhibits that change throughout the year, so there's almost always something new to see. The building itself is gorgeous, even if there wasn't any art installations it would be a worthwhile experience to drop by and check it out. The exhibits themselves are great too, and it can be a bit hard to navigate the six floors but just ask any attendants! The information desk at the ground floor does a great job to help visitors get their free tickets (you have to reserve them online beforehand, though) for the many musical performances the center offers. The many performances are absolutely amazing, I recommend signing up and going to as many as you can even if you're not familiar with the artist or the musical style, cause they're always fantastic. If you're not that interested in music, it's a great chance to enjoy the atmosphere and the architecture of the many rooms. The sala sinfónica in particular is gorgeous. I reiterate, it's free. I'm beyond amazed at this wonderful achievement, of making these cultural centers / museums free of charge, making the very clear statement that art and culture is for everyone. There are also classes that you can take there, dancing and exercise and who knows what else, all available to the public (though you probably have to sign up beforehand, so check their website). Like any museum it's closed on Mondays, unless it's a holiday, in which case it's closed on that following Tuesday. If you're in Buenos Aires, either visiting or living here, drop by. This place is gorgeous. At least just come and use the restrooms, I promise you'll stick around.

Went to la bomba del tiempo. What a rip off. Firstly they would not accept our 2 per 1 offer that…read morewe got. Secondly the toilets smelt so bad and the show didn't even start yet. They should also let us know before the time they won't allow in beer we bought. Beer there is over 100 pesos !. I think they are overrated. There is a band that plays on Sunday's in San telmo fair that's way more amazing than them. Even the drums was not loud at bomba del tiempo. So disappointed. Rather go to San Telmo you can literally feel the drums going through your body plus you can watch for free.
