Museo al aire libre

This open- air "museum" brings the brushstrokes of painter Benito Quinquela Martín to life in its colors, sculptures and ceramics.

It is an art market where a constant exhibition of works inspired by the surrounding port area and neighborhood are sold. Browsing through here is sure to thrill the tourist for its uniqueness and air of bohemia.

Modest housed painting in vibrant colors frame the pedestrian street known as el Caminito and celebrate in a tango tune of the same name. Its first inhabitants were the working- class Genoese immigrants who settled along this path, which led from the river to the railroad tracks and is now home to innovative artists. Italian cantinas can be found in the surrounding vicinity near the port area.

This open- air museum has sculptures, ceramics and works in high and low relief by artists from Buenos Aires, including Benito Quinquela Martin, Julio Vergotini and Luis Perlotti. There is also a permanent show of drawings, engravings, paintings and sculptures related to the Buenos Aires neighborhood of La Boca, by 60 contemporary artists.
