Over 1.2 million people visited more than 300 museums and cultural spaces in Buenos Aires, setting a historical record. The event celebrated the city's collective, curious, and enthusiastic spirit.
The opening featured the unveiling of an art installation, the 20-meter-high 'Tower of Spaghetti' by renowned Argentine artist Marta Minujín. In a major highlight, the archives of the Great Lodge of Argentina were opened to the public, revealing the Masonic affiliations of historical figures like Raúl Alfonsín and Juan Domingo Perón.
The festival featured thematic circuits across different city neighborhoods. In the historic La Boca district, there was an immersive projection called 'The Palace of Light'. San Telmo's museums of modern art opened their doors, while the Galileo Galilei Planetarium in Palermo offered Mars screenings accompanied by live jazz. Major institutions like the National Museum of Fine Arts (MNBA) and the MALBA presented special exhibitions and guided tours, including one for families.
The Minister of Culture, Gabriela Ricardes, celebrated the event for bringing monumental works of art back into public spaces and fostering a spirit of agreement.
