Should be a lot of fun!

I went to some museums last year. I started at the Architecture Museum (on Av. del Libertador just to the right of where Callao runs into it), then went to the Palais de Glace. After that we walked to the Bellas Artes and it was closed. I don't think it's supposed to be closed this year, but it was last year.

So then we took a taxi to the MALBA. It was about 12:00-12:30am. (The museums are open from 10:00pm to 2:00am.) There was a line of about 400 people waiting to get in.

SUGGESTION: If you want to go to the MALBA, then that will probably be the only museum you go to. And you better get there way before 10:00pm if you want to make sure you get in.

Thanks Napoleon - that's good advice!

Reminder: Tonight is the Night of the Museums...

THANKFULLY a cool/cold front came through last night and it is bareable to go outside. So it should be cold this evening. (Down to ~50F/10C at about 4:00am.)
