 Located inside the Galerías Pacífico mall in the heart of downtown Buenos Aires, the Centro Cultural Borges is a beautiful facility abuzz with art and cultural happenings. Photo by Greg Roden. The Centro Cultural Borges boasts some of the best exhibits in Buenos Aires. Not limited to simply still art, the center hosts a variety of events from modern dance to theatre and independent films. Here’s is where one can find the big-name exhibits combined with up-and-comers. Some of the most recent exhibits include war photographer Robert Cappa and painter and sculptor Salvador Dali. The beautiful top floor art space is lit up as bright as day from the window-paned roof. The T-shaped building allows for four separate exhibition halls with a main gathering center; a truly freeing space in the center of bustling downtown. This luminous cultural center is located above a mall. A mall? Yes, that’s right, but it’s arguably the most up-scale mall in Buenos Aires: Galerías Pacífico. After all, fashion is art and in this city anything goes. Entrance fee is $4AR unless there is a special exhibit for which they may charge more. Check their informative website or call ahead to find out what is on offer. —Centro Cultural Borges | Borges Cultural Center review by Gena Mavuli
