It is one of the most modern museums in Buenos Aires. It hosts the Constantini collection: more than 200 pieces (paintings, sculptures, engravings, pictures, and objects) by Latin American artists from the 20th Century.
The complete collection of Eduardo Constantini was exhibited at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in 1995; three years later, the business man called for international bidders to design a museum for the collection.
The building is covered with limestone and has great glass and steel surfaces.
Among many others, the museum hosts works by Frida Kahlo, Wifredo Lam, Roberto Matta, Diego Rivera, Joaquín Torres-García, Antonio Berni, Emiliano Di Cavalcanti, Jorge de la Vega, Tarsila do Amaral, Pedro Figari, Lygia Clark, Helio Oiticica, Liliana Porter, Guillermo Kuitca, and José Bedia Valdés.
The museum has a cinema, a café, a gift store, and a bookstore.
