- Antonio Berni’s collection: The museum’s best-known draw is its set of works by Rosario’s most famous modern painter, including the Juanito Laguna and Ramona Montiel series. Scraps, rags and wood stand in for the paint, so the social-realist bite of the shantytown scenes comes through in the materials themselves.
- The Neoclassical building: The museum sits in Parque Independencia, in a palace-like building with columns and a symmetrical facade. Walk around the outside first and look at the proportions before going in.
- Argentine 19th and 20th century painting: Rooms of canvases trace how local artists moved from academic portraits and landscapes toward modernism. The sequence gives you a quick education in the country’s art without needing a guide.

- European works: The collection includes European paintings, among them Spanish and French pieces, and these help you see what local artists were reacting to. They are a small part of the whole, so keep expectations modest.
- Sculpture and decorative arts: Sculptures and period objects fill several halls. The mix of materials and eras breaks up the long stretches of painting and gives your eyes a rest.
- Temporary exhibitions: Rotating shows bring in contemporary Argentine artists, and the program changes often. Check what is on at the door, since a good show can take up half your visit.
- Parque Independencia surroundings: Right outside, the park has shaded paths, a lake and plenty of locals drinking mate on the grass. It is the natural place to sit and digest what you have seen.
