Museo del Cine
(see p75)
This 40-year-old institution
goes beyond the obvious vintage
domestic film-poster exhibitions,
putting on in-depth, engaging
shows. An earlier show explored
early 20th-century Argentinian
comic actors' transition from
theater to film. The museum also
works in tandem the city's other
institutions to present a range
of film series. With the building
undergoing repair, the museum
has temporarily relocated.
