Introduction

Rosario's municipal fine arts museum opened in 1937 and is named after the local painter Juan Bautista Castagnino. It traces Argentine painting and sculpture from the nineteenth century into the twentieth: the founding generation of Pueyrredón and Sívori, the cubism Pettoruti brought home, and the city and port in the hands of Berni and Quinquela Martín. A smaller group of European works came in through mid-century gifts and purchases. The galleries are few but well sequenced, enough to give the shape of Argentine modernism. The park outside is part of the visit.
