Buenos Aires has a scenographic museum that was originally the home of a great artist and a meeting place for important figures of Buenos Aires art. This museum also has a criollo circus and corners full of details of other times. Do you know the Botica del Angel?
La Botica del Angel: A Creole circus, altars and an eclectic space full of art.
Bergara Leumann was an artist, designer and TV host who created the scenographic museum as a tribute to the great figures of Argentine art. This space was originally his home but was inaugurated as La Botica del Angel or Museo Escenográfico in 1966.
La Botica del Angel began as a café concert where music, theater and poetry shows were performed. Over the years, the place accumulated unique pieces, scenery and sets that today are part of an unmissable journey through Buenos Aires culture from the 1960s to the present.
Among the most outstanding tributes you will find spaces dedicated to Niní Marshall, Jorge Luis Borges, Astor Piazzolla and other icons of Argentine art and literature. Every corner of the Botica del Ángel tells a story and recreates moments of Buenos Aires show business. Visiting the scenographic museum is an experience that mixes nostalgia, art and theatricality in a space that is a visual madness.
As it could not be otherwise, there are different stages in this house that more than a house is a hidden mansion in the Microcentro where there are also different exhibitions and shows.
