Hello guys! Greetings to everyone at Hive and to this Architecture+Design community, from which we enjoy, admire and learn from the amazing buildings, constructions and styles around the world. A special shout out to the team led by @storiesoferne , @aplusd that makes this community as special as we know it.

Today I want to share with you an unexpected, fleeting, ephemeral, a bit quick but very attractive visit. I had planned to visit a museum in the city especially to bring you that interesting content about the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires (MALBA), but along the way I stumbled upon the National Museum of Decorative Art and there was an hour left before closing, so I decided to go in and stop by this museum in the first instance. Here we go 😃

Hola chicos! Saludos a todos en Hive y a esta comunidad de Arquitectura+Diseño, de la cual disfrutamos, admiramos y aprendemos de las impresionantes edificaciones, construcciones y estilos alrededor del mundo. Un saludo especial al equipo dirigido por @storiesoferne , @aplusd que hace que ésta comunidad sea tan especial como la conocemos.

Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes una visita inesperada, fugaz, efímera, un poco rápida pero muy atractiva. Había planificado visitar un museo en la ciudad especialmente para traerle ese contenido interesante sobre el museo de arte latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA), pero durante el trayecto me topé con el Museo Nacional de Arte Decorativo y quedaba una hora para su cierre, así que decidí entrar y pasar por este museo en primera instancia. Aquí vamos 😃

This museum is located on Del Libertador Avenue in the Palermo neighborhood of the city of Buenos Aires, a few kilometers from the other museum mentioned above. It is impossible not to stop in front of such a building and style, which captures the attention of anyone. A building built at the beginning of the last century in 1911 approximately that has a French neoclassical style and was inaugurated in 1937 as a museum by the state with a set of works of art that belonged along with the palace to the Chilean ambassador in Argentina.

This work of art was designed under the responsibility of the architect René Sergent and for its construction many of the materials were brought from Europe as most of the works of Buenos Aires, although for this building even came some craftsmen from Europe for the realization of some specific points. The palace stands out for its imposing facade, constituted by its emblematic columns, large windows and is distributed by four floors and a basement.

Éste museo está ubicado en la Avenida Del Libertador en el barrio de Palermo de la ciudad de Buenos Aires a pocos kilómetros del otro museo antes mencionado. Es imposible no detenerse ante semejante edificación y estilo, que capta la atención de cualquiera. Un edificio construido a principios del siglo pasado en 1911 aproximadamente que posee un estilo neoclasico francés y que fue inaugurado para el año 1937 como un museo por parte del estado con un conjunto de obras de arte que pertenecían junto al palacio al embajador de Chile en Argentina.

Está obra de arte fué diseñado bajo la responsabilidad del arquitecto René Sergent y para su construcción muchos de los materiales fueron traídos de Europa como la mayoría de las obras de Buenos Aires, aunque para este edificio incluso vinieron algunos artesanos de Europa para la realización de algunos puntos en específico. El palacio se destaca por su imponente fachada, constituida por sus emblemáticas columnas, ventanales y esta distribuido por cuatros y pisos y un subsuelo.

It was built under the neoclassical architectural influence of the eighteenth century and the use of materials that stand out are marble, granite, thick masonry, wood paneling, all brought from Europe. The main entrance is related to a garden that surrounds it and the terrace is of free access with guided visits.

La entrada principal se relaciona con un jardín que lo rodea y la terraza es de libre acceso con visitas guiadas.

The whole building has a very attractive decoration in terms of its characteristic style...

The palace has many permanent works of art such as sculptures, paintings, gold and silver work, miniatures, porcelains, among many others, on the other hand also has works that are transitory of different authors where they expose their work for a certain time, thus offering a constant support to artists and rotate these works to cover the largest amount of works for the general public.

The interior and decoration of this palace is very similar to that of the San Martin palace, the lamps, walls, spaces and objects of high class and luxury are present in an excessive way in each of the rooms that this.

building has.

Antique clocks, gigantic paintings, bedrooms that are kept for exhibition and all the corridors and staircases are amazing.

El interior y la decoración de esta palacio es muy parecida a la del palacio San Martin, las lámparas, paredes, espacios y objetos de clase alta y de lujo se hacen presente de manera excesiva en cada uno de los salones que posee este edificio.

Relojes antiguos, gigantes cuadros, dormitorios que un los conservan para su exposición y todos los pasillos y escaleras son alucinantes.

A very important fact is that the common visits to this museum are free and free circulation, however there are also guided tours that allow us to access certain parts of the building such as the terrace, some rooms and the basement. In the surroundings of the palace as I mentioned before there is a garden where there is a cafeteria where you can have a snack in view of the palace.

I was very interested in this place so I will make another visit, this time with more time to try to enjoy all the facilities and to be able to access all the rooms.

At the time of my departure I also took the opportunity to take some pictures at night or while the night was falling, so I leave those pictures here and with them I say goodbye for today. I hope you all have a very nice day and I hope you enjoyed yourselves.

Un dato muy importante es que las visitas comunes a este museo son gratuitas y de libre circulación, sin embargo también existen visitas guiadas que nos permiten acceder a ciertas partes del edificio como la terraza, algunas salas y el subsuelo. En los alrededores del palacio como mencioné anteriormente se encuentra un jardín en el que se encuentra una cafetería donde se puede merendar a la vista del palacio.

Me interesó muchísimo este lugar así que haré otra visita, está vez con más tiempo para tratar de disfrutar de todas las instalaciones y poder acceder a todas las salas.

En la hora de mi salida también aproveche para tomar algunas fotos de noche o mientras caía la noche, asi que les dejo esas fotos por acá y con ellas me despido por hoy. Espero tengan un muy lindo día a todos y espero que hayan disfrutado.

Sort:  

must be a whole lot of history in there. nice shot

That's right, it was owned by a bourgeois family and then became state property under the Ministry of Culture of the city of Buenos Aires. In the mid 1900's I can imagine the dinners, events and meetings of the high class in this place. Amazing @blackman15😀

I really liked the architecture outside the windows of the place as well as the beautiful chandelier that illuminates the space inside as well as all the details and sculptures.

I'm glad you liked it! It is a beautiful palace with amazing architecture. Thank you very much for commenting @ginethchira2301🙂

On the contrary, thank you for sharing your content and experience 👍🏻

the museum looks like a castle. i have never been to a place with neoclassical style but i think i understand that this type of style is my preference. i wish that there will be more place with neoclassical style in my area. thankbyou for sharing.

Buenos Aires is characterized for being rich in architecture, there are many of these emblematic buildings in the city with important headquarters and an incredible history, most of them are more than 100 years old. The neoclassical style is very attractive to the eye and embellishes the cities 🙂

it's so beautiful architecture and unique classic building reminds me some of movies film that i watched before 😄

I understand @romirspc 😄 they are buildings that were built one or two centuries ago and I think some movies were filmed in these places. These beautiful palaces are on another level 🤩.

I love the architecture of this building, which has an eclectic style, as I see the mix of designs such as the Corinthian columns, the pediment and I think the interior design has a more Victorian style

It is an imposing building my dear friend @wilfredocav this is another of the palaces with a French neoclassical style in its exteriors, some rooms inside have an Art Deco style. A combination of what you comment also, certainly a good place to visit and learn a little of its history and use 😀

detailed writing, and also the building looks classic, and the design is very beautiful.

Indeed, it is very beautiful and attractive, besides being a jewel inside for its collections of works of art, sculptures, paintings and much more. Thank you very much for commenting @neoseven🙂

Greetings @dimascastillo90. Thank you for taking the time in your busy schedule to document the stories and capture the gorgeous photography of the National Museum of Decorative Art. With its French Neoclassical architecture, that luxurious place exemplifies the sophistication of its exterior design elements and interior furnishings, quite suitable for a renowned establishment like that. 😊

In the photo below, may I know what exactly are those red decors on the floor and what material are they made of?

Greetings dear friend @storiesoferne the decoration belongs to a work of a plastic artist and architect called Gaspar Libedinsky, it is a special labyrinth made with thousands of broom bristles. It is a work called "casa tomada" or house taken and he is presenting it for two months in the museum 😬🙃

Oh, wow! That's absolutely a fascinating exhibit! The red broom bristles are just simple tools but have been transformed with lots of creativity. Thank you for this interesting information, appreciate it! 😊
