OUR FAMILY ASSESSMENT

Family Intelligence

The Buenos Aires Museum of Modern Art is easy to manage with a family in tow. Lifts run from the main hall to every floor, there is a separate lift for wheelchairs, and every accessible toilet has a baby changer. Those toilets are on the first and second floors, in the second basement opposite the lift, and in the education room.

For children who need a different way in, the museum offers personalised tours and workshops with sensory supports, clear language and pictograms (PECS), as well as in Argentine Sign Language. It also uses the Háblalo app to welcome visitors with communication difficulties.

The café serves local artisan pastries alongside shakes and smoothies, and vegetarians, vegans and coeliacs are welcome.

The trade-off is arriving by car: the museum has no car park of its own, so drivers use private car parks nearby. Buses and the Metrobús del Bajo are the simpler route. If anyone needs medical help during the visit, ask a gallery attendant or security staff.
