Brief review of the museum (theme, rooms, exhibitions, etc.) An hour's drive from the city of Buenos Aires is the house-workshop where Xul Solar (Oscar Agustín Alejandro Schulz Solari, 1887-1963) lived and created the last years of his life. Creator of visual and poetic languages, Xul named the house he built. He called her "Li-Tao". The first syllable alludes to the nickname of his wife (Lita) and "Tao", to the spiritual path that guided the artist's existence. Xul's project in Tigre was to create a community life where nature played a leading role.
To see the interior of the house, you must schedule a visit to the Xul Solar Museum: (mail: info@xulsolar.org.ar). However, you can visit the garden, the interpretation center and the walk with the panels about the house-workshop and the artist's work, in addition to a guided tour.

The complex has a courtesy bathroom for the public.
Parking could be done on the street through which you access the museum, it is a public dirt street that ends at the complex that will be about 50 meters long, meaning that approximately 3 cars can fit.
