Address: Northeast corner of Plaza 9 de Julio
Housed on the first floor of a handsomely renovated Neocolonial building on the northeast corner of Plaza 9 de Julio, the outstanding Museo de Arte Contemporanea (MAC) – all sleek white walls and dark parquets – puts on exhibitions of mainly local artists, from up-and-coming wannabes straight out of art school to more established local names, who are often given shows of their own. Painting dominates but video and photography are not unknown.
