Our flight leaves at 11:15 pm tonight so we used the
afternoon to visit two main attractions: MALBA – Museo de Artes
LatinoAmericano; and MNBA – Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes.
These two are all world-class art museums, one
focussed on modern art by Latin American artists and the other focussed on
classic fine art from Europe and South America.
We even saw several Bodin sculptures and a Rembrandt original.
Apparently, Bodin and Buenos Aires had a
really close connection.
He even gave
Buenos Aires a replica of his famous sculpture, the Thinker, now displayed in
the square outside Congresso.
After 20 days of amazing South America, we are finally ready to say goodbye. Anarctica and the Southern parts of Argentina/Chile will have to wait until Yiling's retirement as it has to be done during Dec-Feb in their summer season.
