The National Museum of Fine Arts is Argentina's leading art museum. It opened on 25 December 1895 under the painter Eduardo Schiaffino and moved between buildings until it settled in 1943 in its present red-pink home, originally a water pumping station built in 1870 and converted by the architect Alejandro Bustillo. It holds work by major European artists such as Goya, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Manet, Rodin and Chagall, and a broad collection of Argentine art from the 19th century to the modern era, along with temporary exhibitions. Entry is free every day of the year, with no booking needed for the permanent collection. It opens Tuesday to Friday 11:00-20:00 and Saturday and Sunday 10:00-20:00, and closes on Mondays. It is a few minutes' walk from Recoleta Cemetery.
