I had already seens Torres Garcia's work at MALBA in Buenos Aires and couldn't wait to see an entire museum devoted to him. Well, the museum is quite small, it shouldn't take over a half-hour to see, but totally worth it.
His work is interesting, and fun without being silly, pretentious, or syrupy. Highly recommended, but just wish there had been more.
Also, a picture of Torres Garcia and his artwork is on the cinco peso note. Leave a Comment

Several of his works (and his followers) can be seen at his Museum.
You can find here interesting temporal expositions, too.
Joaquín Torres García fue un artista uruguayo que revolucionó la pintura moderna; su estilo, denominado "cosntructivismo" marcó el comienzo de una nueva era.
Varias de sus obras (y de sus seguidores) están expuestas en este Museo.
Se pueden ver también aquí interesantes exposiciones temporales. Leave a Comment

 Torres Garcia by barryg23
My favourite part of the museum was the section devoted to his paintings and caricatures of famous people such as Beethoven, Dostoyevsky, Da Vinci and many others. Entrance to the museum is officially free though there is a suggested donation which we felt was well worth it. Leave a Comment

Art lovers should take a visit to this museum with the famous collection of Tores Garcia (1874-1949), Uruguay's most famous artist.
Garcia is known as the founder of Constructive Universalism.
He's also assisted Antoni Gaudi with stained-glass windows for the cathedral of Palma de Mallorca and later with the windows for the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.
We visited the museum for free, because it was "museum-night"I. t was crowded and very hot!! So my insider tip: either don't visit during museum night, or take a pallet with you, there's no airco..

I really like this museum (may be cause I really like the artist), actually, it's my favourite museum in Montevideo.
It is small, yes, but it's really nice and i'm not just referring to the work displayed there but also to the museum itself. It's in a nice place, well organised and, I think, really welcoming.
One thing I love, though it may seem kind of stupid, is the giftshop. Ok, not the first thing you look at when you go to a museum, but i love the things they sell there, you can find some nice things to take home.
