Eduardo Sívori Museum
The Eduardo Sívori Museum (Museo de Artes Plásticas Eduardo Sívori) is a municipal art museum in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Overview Founded on the initiative of city councilman Fernando Ghio, who proposed the creation of a municipal museum devoted to Argentine artists (as a more specialized counterpart of the National Museum of Fine Arts) in 1933, the institution was inaugurated in 1938 as the "Municipal Museum of Fine Arts, Applied Art, and Comparative Art." The museum became the venue for the annual municipal art salon, first held in 1936. The museum was originally housed in the City Council Building.

The museum was renamed in 1946 for the "portraiteur of the pampas", the late Realist painter Eduardo Sívori; Sívori had founded the first artisan guild in Arg ...

Avenida Del Libertador (Buenos Aires)
Avenida del Libertador is one of the principal thoroughfares in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and in points north, extending from the Retiro District of Buenos Aires (where it continues as Avenida Leandro N.

Bella Vista Street was widened and lengthened, reaching northwest into Palermo and, upon its inaugural in 1885, was renamed in honor the Mayor's father, Carlos María de Alvear (one of Argentina's early leaders).

Norman Architecture
