The Latin American Art Museum of Buenos Aires, also known as MALBA, is a museum located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, dedicated to showcasing contemporary Latin American art. The museum's permanent collection includes more than 9,000 works, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, and installations, from artists across Latin America.

Opened in 2001, the museum features works from some of the most celebrated Latin American artists, including Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Joaquín Torres-García, and Tarsila do Amaral. The collection is housed in a modern building designed by Argentine architect, Eduardo Souto de Moura, and also includes works by emerging and established contemporary artists from around the region.

In addition to its permanent collection, the museum also hosts temporary exhibitions and cultural events, such as film screenings, concerts, and lectures. The museum's mission is to promote the study, preservation, and dissemination of Latin American art, while also engaging with the local and international community to create a dialogue around contemporary art in the region.
