Housed in a brightly painted grain silo on the waterfront, this gallery is part of Rosario's
impressive riverbank renewal. It features temporary exhibitions, mostly by young local
artists, of varying quality, housed in small galleries spread over eight floors. There's a
good view of the river islands from the
mirador
(viewpoint) at the top and an attractive
cafe-bar by the river.
