Hello, everyone, have a nice and pleasant day. I haven't written here in a while and today I had the inspiration to do so. The Tigre Art Museum was a place that I wanted to visit and for one reason or another, I didn't have the time to do so. But as the saying goes: “there is no evil that lasts a hundred years, nor a debt that is not paid”… so I paid off my debt, my desire to visit this beautiful place. The property can be accessed through several entrances. Entering through a gate that leads to a right side garden of the building, I was surprised to see a fountain inspired by Bosch's painting “The Garden of Earthly Delights”, to which I immediately took several photos of this magnificent work of art.
But the most interesting thing was to see the imposing architecture of this building that was inaugurated in the 20th century, more precisely in 1912, by a group of businessmen with the aim of founding a social club for entertainment and sports. Years later, in 1927, part of the club would be converted into a casino.
This building has its main door facing the Luján River, it has a long walkway approximately 50 meters long that is accessed from the first floor and reaches the banks of the river where there is a large viewpoint and you can see all the boats that circulate through these waters. From the walkway you can see the garden on both sides decorated with spherical privets forming a kind of worm.
The Tigre Art Museum not only preserves an art collection inside, but in itself is an architectural jewel in the Neoclassical style, highlighting its symmetry that transports you to another era. Its structure, with majestic columns, ornate balconies and large windows, reflects the splendor and elegance of a booming society.
Every corner of this building invites you to stop and admire its meticulous design, from the imposing staircase to its beautiful stained glass windows. Walking through its corridors is like walking through a fragment of history, where luxury reigned at that time.
Without a doubt, a visit to the Tigre Art Museum is an enriching experience for both art lovers and those who enjoy architecture and history. A place that is not only contemplated, but lived, and that leaves in memory the image of a past time full of splendor.
