- Xul Solar Works - Argentina's most original 20th-century painter, all invented alphabets and imaginary flags. Nothing else in the museum looks like it, and honestly nothing else in Buenos Aires does either.
- Antonio Berni's Social Realism - Gritty, large-scale works depicting Argentine slum life through recurring characters like Juanito Laguna. It hits harder than any postcard version of Argentina you'll see elsewhere.
- Rodin Sculptures - A small but legitimate collection including bronze casts that let you get close enough to see tool marks in the metal, something roped-off European museums rarely allow.
- 19th-Century Argentine Landscape Painters - Artists like Prilidiano Pueyrredón capturing the pampas and colonial Buenos Aires before the city became what it is now, useful context if you're about

- European Impressionist Gallery - Modest by Musée d'Orsay standards, but real Monet, Renoir, and Van Gogh works hang here without the crowd crush you'd fight in Paris.
- Cándido López War Paintings - Detailed, almost naive-style panoramas of the Paraguayan War, painted by a veteran who lost his right arm and taught himself to paint with his left.
- The Building's Natural Light - Several galleries use skylights well, giving certain rooms a shifting quality through the day that photos of the collection never capture.
- Free Temporary Exhibitions - Rotating shows in the ground-floor spaces often feature contemporary Argentine artists, giving repeat visitors a reason to swing back through on a later trip.
