Buenos Aires major art exhibitions 2026

Overview

In late July 2026, Buenos Aires announced the upcoming Frida Kahlo exhibition “Viva Frida” at the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano (Malba), slated to open on 17 September 2026 and run through March 2027. The show will feature personal objects from Kahlo’s Casa Azul, several paintings, and archival materials, marking the first South‑American presentation of the artist’s work. A week later, in early August, the city revealed the worldwide premiere of the Mafalda Immersive exhibition at the Centro Cultural Recoleta, scheduled for 1 October 2026. The immersive experience combines video‑mapping, VR, and interactive installations to bring the classic Argentine comic to life, with plans to tour Europe and other Latin‑American venues after its Buenos Aires run. By late August, further details emerged regarding the programming at Malba. To coincide with the museum’s 25th anniversary, the venue will host the fourth edition of the Semana de la Alta Costura Argentina (SAC) from 14 to 21 September. Directed by Elina Costantini, the SAC event will feature designers such as Natalia Antolín, Camila Romano, Pía Carregal, and Mexican designer Carla Fernández, including a public fashion show on the museum esplanade on 20 September. The “Viva Frida” exhibition, organized by the Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico and the SAC, is curated by Circe Henestrosa and includes over 300 items, such as Tehuana garments, jewelry, and paintings like “Autorretrato con chango y loro” (1942). Recent updates specify the exhibition will feature 365 original pieces, including photographs and letters. Elina Costantini noted the personal significance of the exhibition, citing her admiration for Kahlo’s strength and energy. The exhibition is expected to run until 15 March 2027. Following its opening, the “Viva Frida” exhibition drew thousands of visitors to Malba during its opening weekend.
