Night of the Museums: what are the new proposals
The south of the city will concentrate a good part of the programming. In the Caminito fairIn the Buenos Aires neighborhood of La Boca, there will be photo, woodcut and filleting workshops; the cobblestones of the Vuelta de Rocha will mark the Quinquela Road on the bank of the Riachuelo; and Colon Factory will open its doors to visit the set and costume installation of the Colón Opera and Ballet.
A few steps, PROA Foundation will distribute educational kits and will make guided tours of the exhibition “La suite”; the Benito Quinquela Martín Museum Argentine art and figureheads will be exhibited in the open air; and Andreani Foundation will exhibit four exhibitions, including “Generación Supernova”, starring older adults in times of pandemic.
And in the square of the Usina del Arte there will be facilities: Ignacio De Lucca will inaugurate “Portraits of Quarantine” while the central hall will be the meeting point for visits to the “Street art of Boquense”. For the youngest, the iUpi! Room will be open.
Already in tents, at 33 Lanín street, in an open-air space, they will screen videos, there will be music and they will do a mosaic workshop for kids and adults. And arriving at San Telmo, the Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires (Avenida San Juan 350) will exhibit “Everything is fiction” by Washington Cucurto.
Inside the historic center, visitors will be able to witness the Changing of the Guard of the Horse Grenadier Regiment that guards the saber of San Martín, in the National Historical Museum, located in Defensa 1600. It will be at 20, 21:45, 24 and 1:30. While, at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., the National Museum of the History of Costume (Chile 832) will offer shadow theater: “Cao Chong weighed an elephant.”
At Manzana de las Luces Historic Cultural Complex (Peru 222) will sing at 8:30 p.m. Marikena Monti and at 9:30 p.m. videos of the African-American Luanda will be shown to close dancing at 23 with DJ Dr. Trincado. While, a few meters away, above Bolívar 65, the National Museum of the Cabildo of Buenos Aires and the May Revolution it will shed light on the work of the archaeologists and the excavation that is still in progress in the South Patio.
Arriving in the city center, the Ricardo Rojas House Museum (Charcas 2837) organized a runway and music competition to dance on the sidewalk, at 9:30 p.m. the first and from 11 p.m. the other. At the time National House of the Bicentennial, on Riobamba 985, where the Sound Art Center (CASO), the Palais de Glace and the National Museum of Engraving also work, will host the 12th Migrant Film Festival.

At 9 pm, in the courtyard, Bárbara Togander will perform, remixing “Country Archive”, one of the only sound samples that the night will have. The other is that of PROA. The two are very different and complementary.
Towards the north, at 1473 on Avenida del Libertador, from 9 p.m. and every half hour, the National museum of fine arts will present “Postcards urbanas”, a mapping made with masterpieces from its collection that will be projected on the facade of the building.

Accompanied by the exhibition “Amar es Luchar”, which explores everything that Eva did not give up, and an exhibition of objects donated spontaneously by the public, where they will even find toys distributed by the historic Eva Perón Foundation. It also challenges the public with the hashtag #WhatNoRenuncias.
“Powerful objects” is precisely the title of another exhibition, this time from National Museum of Man, already in the neighborhood of Belgrano on the street 3 de Febrero 1320. It recovers instruments of strong symbolic power that allow a displacement between the sacred and the profane.
The proposals are numerous and heterogeneous: from plays by Pacho O’Donnell going by samples made by Bienalsur, until the closing recital by Antonio Birabent at the Museo Malvinas e Islas del Atlántico Sur. You will find everything, starting this Thursday on the website of the Ministry of Culture.
