Museo de Bellas Artes

Despite not being able to pronounce the above to the satisfaction of the taxi driver, the double ´l´ pronounced differently here to either Spain or Chile, we managed to get to the Museo de Bellas Artes. Very doable, sorry can´t find hyphens or parentheses on this ´puter, in an hour or so. They have nice collection of late nineteenth and twentieth century European stuff, some Argentinan works from around the same time, which are, interestingly derivative of the European works. And they also have some wacky modern pieces that seemed to revolve around the environment, the elements, mainly wind, and evolution. Oh, and three or four really moving Goya. I haven´t really considered Goya much before, but I thought it was more about what wasn´t painted, or rather the spaces around the action that gave the paintings, or at least those that I saw yesterday, real pathos.

Dinner in Palermo Viejo, Borges/Cortazar neighbourhood. Vietnamese food. Very funky, boutiquey area, going back today to shop for the first time in a month!
