Buenos Aires has long since earned its place among Latin America’s great cultural capitals. With a vibrant art scene, hundreds of galleries, theaters, and some of the region’s most important museums, the options seem endless.
However, among so many classics and must-see attractions, there are still places that surprisingly go unnoticed. One of them is the Amalia Lacroze de Fortabat Art Collection, a museum that houses true treasures of Argentine and international art and which, despite being right in the heart of Puerto Madero, remains a hidden gem for many Buenos Aires residents and tourists.
Everything You Need to Know About the AMALITA Collection
Located on the embankments of the city’s most modern neighborhood, this museum combines contemporary architecture, river views, and one of the country’s most important private collections. Behind its glass facade — designed by the prestigious architect Rafael Viñoly— works by key Argentine artists coexist alongside pieces by some of the most influential names in the history of world art.
In its galleries, you can find works by Antonio Berni, Xul Solar, Emilio Pettoruti, Prilidiano Pueyrredón, and Nicolás García Uriburu, alongside works by Salvador Dalí, Auguste Rodin, Marc Chagall, and even a portrait of Amalia Fortabat by Andy Warhol.

The Amalia Lacroze de Fortabat Art Collection opened its doors in 2008 and occupies a building spanning more than 6,700 square meters. The museum was founded to house the private collection of Amalia Lacroze de Fortabat, one of Argentina’s most renowned businesswomen and one of the country’s leading art collectors.
In total, the collection comprises around 240 works by Argentine and international artists, in addition to temporary exhibitions that change throughout the year. Although it’s located in one of the most visited areas of Buenos Aires, it’s usually much quieter than other museums in the city, allowing visitors to explore its galleries at a leisurely pace.
The visit takes, on average, between one hour and an hour and a half, making it an excellent option to add to the typical stroll through Puerto Madero.
