Museo Xul Solar

Xul-Solar-1

Museo de Xul Solar is often overlooked by visitors to Buenos Aires, which is an unfortunate oversight.


Xul Solar was a man of many talents and interests . . . a painter, sculptor, inventor of languages, and writer. A small museum, in the building in which he lived, is architecturally interesting, in addition to an extensive collection.


Don't miss this gem of a museum:

This guy was an incredible artist. I went to his museum and I went out amazed. If you notice in thses pictures you posted, there is a nazi symbol. It is there because he was supposedly a Jew who did not say he was so because of fear to be rejected. The truth is, and I dare to say it because I did rent an apartment in buenos aires  and lived there for months, that there is absolutely no discrimination at all in that country. I guess those were different times...
