Torres Garcia's Museum

There were two floors of Garcia's works and another three given to a modern dress designer. I liked Garcia a lot. The building is perfect for Ciudad Vieja with wood floors and staircases, and an elevator. There's ah tasteful gift shop on the main floor. Worth a visit!

Nice museum which shows Joaquin Torres Garcia's history. You can see the artists' life through hiss paintings and studies. There are 5 floors: 5th and 4th floors show the students' work while the 3rd, 2nd and 1st floor shows Garcias' studies of art through his life from the Classical to the Universal Constructivism.

An interesting museum showcasing works by Torres Garcia, a Uruguayan-Spanish artist, theorist, and author who made a large impact internationally. The museum consists of 4 floors that one can visit. He's known for toys that can be configured in multiple ways.

I really enjoyed my time in this museum. This style is different from what I normally go for, but I have grown to like and appreciate it. Before coming here, I saw one piece in Bellas Artes museum in Buenos Aires. There are many interesting pieces of art and wooden toys. The building has a nice layout of 4 floors. The gift shop has a nice selection of items. I highly recommend.

We did not have time to enter but we did see examples of the artists work on a nearby building across from the entrance. Our tout guide said that the artist was quite influential internationally. Not the style of art I appreciate though I am afraid. For fans of this work, the museum should definitely be on the visit list when in montevideo.

Nice museum with 3 floors but each fairly small. I was given a sheet of info in English which helped as no signs are in English. I paid 200 entry which I think was worth it for a short stop.

The Museo Torres García is located in the historic Ciudad Vieja (Old Town) of Montevideo where unusual portraits of historical icons and cubist paintings akin to Picasso's paintings, painted by Joaquín Torres García are exhibited. The museum was established by Manolita Piña Torres, the widow of Torres Garcia after his death in 1949 who also set up the García Torres Foundation, a private non-profit organization which organizes the paintings, drawings, original writings, archives, objects and furniture designed by the painter as well as the photographs, magazines and publications related to him....

Was very interesting to see one of the most famous Uruguay artists works. The exhibition itself was well organised. Great place!
