More Information

The BAM has a new visual identity that responds to a dynamic, technological, reflective and inclusive museum. It includes buildings of great heritage value - the Casa de los Altos de Elorriaga and the Casa de los Cherubines - and aims to discover the secrets of old times, explore the ways of living in the present and imagine what the Buenos Aires of the future will be like.

With thematic tours, BAM invites you to investigate the material and intangible heritage of Buenos Aires and puts a magnifying glass on the formation of the urban and building layout, cultural practices, daily life, symbolic references and their creative personalities.

This is a participatory museum that, through multidisciplinary and innovative programming, develops technological, immersive and multisensory activities and displays.

For its part, the BAM heritage exhibition has a large collection of objects that were part of everyday use such as postcards, posters, posters and advertising elements, toys, radios, televisions, cameras and phonographs, tiles, hardware, tiles and molds. , sanitary and furniture and textiles. There is also a photographic archive of more than 8 thousand images of the City of Buenos Aires and its inhabitants and around 35 thousand negatives from collections of renowned photographers. The documentary archive contains the cartographic record of the Beare Cadastre and a newspaper archive with a large collection, among which the magazines Caras y Caretas, El Hogar and Revista de Arquitectura and Leoplan stand out.

In the temporary exhibition hall, thematic exhibitions researched and produced by BAM and also samples from different parts of the country are presented, thus promoting a federal construction. In addition, there is a space designed for children: Imagined Cities is the place where girls and boys can reflect and build the cities of the future.



Tourist Welcome Center​

The Tourist Welcome Center, in the Altos de Elorriaga building (Defensa 187), is the starting point to begin touring the BAM and the City. There, you will be surprised by fun and multi-sensory experiences that will allow you to discover the attractions of the different neighborhoods of the City, buy experiences and acquire native designer objects. The technological battery available in this center has great attractions: an interactive map (which is a touch screen with information about the different points of interest in the City), talking paintings (which “carry out a conversation” with each other to learn about of Buenos Aires passions and address different themes, it is translated into English and interpreted in sign language), a Selfie Point (a totem where you can take a unique photo of the City and receive it in your email or by scanning a QR code) , interactive games for all ages and a 360 viewer (which presents a 360 movie about the points of interest in the City of Buenos Aires).



Guaranteed accessibility​

The BAM Tourist Welcome Center has a haptic map of the Historic Center of the City. Thanks to its advanced 3D technology and with the addition of Braille writing, it allows blind people and people with impaired vision to locate fundamental attractions in the neighborhoods of San Nicolás and Monserrat, such as the Casa Rosada, the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Paseo del Bajo, or Café Tortoni, among others. This haptic map joins three others, located in Puerto Madero, Recoleta and Palermo. All were donated by the Nínawa Daher Foundation to the Tourism Entity of the City of Buenos Aires, with the aim of guaranteeing accessibility and inclusion.
